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.

Weight 26.96 grams
Diameter 39-40 mm
Mint Marks No mint marks (all minted in Philadelphia)
Composition 89.24% silver, 10.76% copper
Obverse Design Draped Bust design, depicting Liberty facing right, designed by Robert Scot
Reverse Design Small Eagle (early 1798) or Heraldic Eagle (late 1798) design, designed by Robert Scot

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.

Philadelphia, No Mint Mark

Mintage: 327,536 (combined for all varieties)

Rarity Scale: Rare

Circulation Status: Limited Circulation

Preservation Rarity: Extremely rare in grades MS65 and above

Varieties Errors: Small Eagle Reverse, Heraldic Eagle Reverse, 13 Stars on Obverse, 15 Stars on Obverse

Market Demand: High, especially for well-preserved specimens and rare varieties

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.
