Description du lot

1800 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-188, B-8. Rarity-3. Bowers Die State IV. AU-53 (PCGS). Secure Holder. A second high-grade example of the 1800 BB-188 Dollar pedigreed to the Hesselgesser Collection, this PCGS AU is a late die state with extensive die cracks (as struck) on the reverse contiguous to the letters in the word AMERICA. Rich lavender-gray patina blankets both sides and blends with slightly bolder olive-gray toning at the borders. Boldly struck, lightly worn and free of outwardly distracting abrasions.
