Lot Description

Fairly well centered in strike with more or less broad denticulation framing both sides, this piece exhibits otherwise sharp definition in and around the centers. Wear is expectably light for the assigned grade and the surfaces, while a bit glossy in texture, show no sizeable marks and are warmly toned in mauve-gray and olive-russet. A scarcer die marriage of the 1800 Draped Bust dollar, Q. David Bowers accounts for only 90 to 160 examples of BB-181 extant in the 2013 edition of his <em>Encyclopedia of United States Silver Dollars: 1794-1803</em>. The variety is easy to attribute by looking for a slight elevation (as made) in the obverse field inside star 1 and several prominent flaws (again, as struck) around star 11. This obverse die was used only in the BB-181 marriage.
