Lot Description

1799 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-162, B-6. Rarity-3. Bowers Die State IV. VF-35 (PCGS). Secure Holder. Nicely toned in coppery-gray patina, the reverse is a bit lighter overall than the obverse. Both sides are boldly defined for the grade with moderate wear evenly distributed over the features. We see no abrasions of note, the surfaces actually presenting as quite smooth for an early Dollar that saw this extensive circulation.
