Lot Description

1799 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-169, B-21. Rarity-3. VF-30 (NGC). Handsome deep olive-gray patina blankets generally smooth-looking surfaces. Powder blue and pale pink undertones are reserved for the obverse, both sides with universally bold Choice VF detail from a nicely centered and well executed strike. While not a major rarity among die marriages of the 1799 dollar, BB-169 is more conditionally challenging than most with the typical survivor grading no finer than EF-40. This solid mid grade example offers good value for the astute collector. BB Die State I. PCGS# 40060. NGC ID: 24X7. Click here for certification details from NGC.
