Lot Description

1801 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-211, B-1. Rarity-3. EF-45 (PCGS). A handsome mauve-gray example with glints of antique silver patina outlining many of the design elements. Both sides are nicely centered on the planchet with overall bold definition remaining in the absence of all but light wear. Vying with BB-212 as the most frequently encountered die marriage of the 1801 Draped Bust dollar, BB-211 has an estimated population of 500 to 900 coins in all grades (per Bowers, 2013). An ideal candidate for inclusion in a high grade circulated type set. BB Die State III. Provenance: From the Greenway Collection. Stack's paper envelope with (incorrect) attribution notation included. PCGS# 6893. NGC ID: 24XA. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
