Description du lot

1799 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-165, B-8b. Rarity-3. AU-50 (NGC). A richly original example draped in a blend of lavender-gray, antique gold and olive-russet. Faint remnants of original luster are discernible as the coin rotates under a light. Boldly defined for both the assigned grade and the advanced die state, only in the reverse star field do we note appreciable softness of detail. Certainly one of the nicer examples of this die variety but missing the Condition Census by a few points, although definitive work in this area has yet to be published. An important offering for the variety specialist that may also appeal to the type or date collector due to its strong grade level. BB Die State III. PCGS# 6878. NGC ID: 24X7.
