1800 $1 BB-190 MS (PCGS#40076)

The Regency Auction 53

Description du lot: Ex Freedom Collection, as noted on the insert. A Condition Census level B-10, BB-190. This was a prolific die marriage, as there are seven distinct die states listed in Dave Bowers' Encyclopedia of United States Silver Dollars, 1794-1804. The present coin is struck from a middle state, listed as Die State IV, which happens to be the most common of the known states. Nicely preserved surfaces show no more than the lightest hint of friction on the highest points and in the fields. A wealth of retained luster enlivens the soft clear gold and pearly silver that dusts the majority of the surfaces and brings out the splashes of deeper gold and violet blue at the reverse. There are no serious flaws worthy to mention of any kind. This is a solid coin for the collector, combining high grade and pleasing aesthetics! Ex Freedom Collection, Stack's Bowers' 2013 ANA Auction, lot 4339; Dale Friend Collection; Legend Rare Coin Auctions' Regency Auction 51, lot 38. PCGS 7, NGC 1. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $28,500 and few finer examples have appeared in auction in the last decade, making this a very important coin for the collector of high grade early dollars. We expect the bidding to be strong on this one, don't let it get away. Cert. Number 27996902 PCGS # 6888
