Lot Description

1799 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-158, B-16. Rarity-2. EF-40 (NGC). An especially attractive coin in a lightly circulated Bust dollar. Both sides are predominantly toned in warm pewter-gray, but with plenty of vivid multicolored iridescence in the protected areas around and among the design elements that provide strong eye appeal. Faint traces of luster remain, and the detail is bold to sharp throughout. Bowers-Borckardt 158 is one of the more readily obtainable die marriages of the 1799-dated silver dollar issue, the present example ideal for circulated type purposes. BB Die State III. PCGS# 6878.
