- Lot Description
- 1798 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. Heraldic Eagle. BB-113, B-27. Rarity-2. Pointed 9, Close Date. AU-50 (PCGS). CAC.
Scarce and highly desirable CAC approval in an About Uncirculated Bust dollar, this piece delivers generally silver-gray surfaces with faint powder blue and champagne-pink undertones discernible with persistence. Appreciable luster remains, as befits the assigned grade, and the detail is bold to sharp throughout from a well executed strike. An uncommonly pleasing example for a lightly circulated early dollar, this high grade type candidate would also serve as an attractive representative of the relatively obtainable 1798 BB-113 die pairing in a specialized variety set. BB Die State II.
PCGS# 6873. NGC ID: 24X6.
