Lot Description

1798 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. Small Eagle. B-2, BB-81. Rarity-2. BB Die State II. 15 Stars on Obverse. Fine-15 (PCGS). CAC. Medium lilac gray with pale golden highlights. Rich blue and gold iridescence can be seen in the protected obverse areas. Evenly worn but completely unmarked to the unaided eye save for some reverse planchet adjustment marks, mint-caused, that engage the rim in a few places. The overall details are crisp for the assigned grade, especially so on the obverse. Choice and appealing.
