Design and Specifications of the 1798 Dollar
The 1798 Silver Dollar is a significant early American coin from the Draped Bust series. This year saw a transition in reverse designs, from the Small Eagle to the Heraldic Eagle, making it a pivotal year for collectors. These coins were minted during a period when the young United States was establishing its monetary system and asserting its independence on the world stage.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition is crucial for 1798 Silver Dollars. Coins in higher grades (AU and above) are extremely rare and valuable. Even in circulated conditions, these coins command significant premiums. Original surfaces, strong strikes, and minimal contact marks greatly enhance value. The presence of attractive toning can also increase desirability among collectors.

Variety is a major factor in determining the value of 1798 Silver Dollars. The Small Eagle reverse is generally rarer and more valuable than the Heraldic Eagle. Die states and die varieties can also significantly impact value, with some rare varieties commanding substantial premiums. The 15-star obverse variety is particularly sought after. Provenance, especially if the coin can be traced to a famous collection, can also enhance value. Collectors should be aware of potential cleaning or restoration, which can negatively impact value.
