- Lot Description
- Popular draped bust, small eagle design. Lightly toned on both sides. A smooth gray surface imbues this small eagle silver dollar with a quality that surpasses the competition. Add a degree of sharp detail on the main devices and the allure is virtually irresistible. A point of reference for this particular example is a small metal crack in the planchet at the rim opposite the fifth star (as made) that transfers over to the reverse above the D in UNITED. Everything else is exceedingly choice, exceptionally smooth! This die variety has a diagnostic lump or die break at the I of AMERICA. Pop 6; 14 finer(PCGS # 6861) </B>. <BR>Estimated Value $7,000 - 7,500.
