Lot Description

1799 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-166, B-9. Rarity-1. VG-8 (NGC). CAC. A lovely early dollar at the lower reaches of the numismatic grading scale, and an ideal type candidate for the budget minded collector, as such. Otherwise impressively smooth in hand, a reeding mark in the left reverse field is mentioned solely for accuracy. Light, even golden-gray patina to both sides, virtually all major design elements of which are fully outlined and bold. This is the popular Apostrophe variety of the 1799-dated silver dollar issue, so-named because of the die break on the reverse after the final S in STATES seen on most examples. BB Die State III. PCGS# 6878. NGC ID: 24X7.
