Lot Description

1799 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. B-21, BB-169. Rarity-3. BB Die State IV. AU-50 (NGC). Pleasing slate and steel-gray surfaces exhibit light olive toning throughout. Lightly worn and not noticeably marked, even under low magnification. The devices are sharp for the grade and the eye appeal is substantial. Later die state with interesting die cracks on the obverse around Liberty's bust and the date, also the reverse legend. Outstanding eye appeal for the collector. Worthy of a solid round of bidding activity before the final gavel falls. PCGS# 40060. Provenance: Ex: Warren Miller Collection.
