Lot Description

1799 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-157, B-5. Rarity-2. VF-20 (PCGS). Handsome steel and olive-gray patina, the obverse is a bit lighter overall than the reverse. Both sides deliver bold VF detail from a nicely centered, well executed strike. A shallow edge bruise at 4 o'clock on the obverse is note, but otherwise the in hand appearance is uncommonly smooth for an early dollar that saw this extensive commercial use. Nice circulated type coin from this historic early U.S. Mint series. BB Die State III. Provenance: From the Pacific Rim Collection. PCGS# 40049. NGC ID: 295Z.
