Description du lot

1800 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-182, B-2. Rarity-5. Bowers Die State II. VF-30 (PCGS). Secure Holder. Described by Bowers (1993) as "one of the great rarities of the year," the B-2 die marriage of the 1800 Silver Dollar has an estimated population of just 30-50 coins in numismatic hands. We offer here a nicely balanced Choice VF with iridescent champagne-apricot undertones to otherwise dominant pewter-gray patina. Moderately, yet evenly worn, with neither excessive loss of detail nor individually detracting abrasions to report.
