Lot Description

1802/1 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-234, B-3. Rarity-3. Wide Date. AU-53 (PCGS). This pretty piece retains much of the original luster in a bright frosty to modestly semi-reflective finish. Attractively toned, as well, we note splashes of reddish-gold and cobalt blue peripheral iridescence around generally brilliant centers. Boldly to sharply defined from a nicely centered, well executed strike. The BB-234 features the most widely spaced date of any 1802/1Bust dollar variety. It is easily attributed by a round die lump below star 8 and is seldom found finer than VF. BB Die State II. Provenance: From the Legacy Collection. PCGS# 40090. NGC ID: 24XC.
