Lot Description

BB Die State III. This appealing piece exhibits gentle mottling to pewter gray, olive and steel-rose patina that is a bit bolder on the obverse. Appreciable mint frost remains, and iridescent undertones of blue, pink and gold are also present to greet the viewer at more direct viewing angles. Universally bold to sharp in detail with no marks to distract the unaided eye.<p>This die pairing of the 1802-dated silver dollar issue is a perennial favorite among type collectors seeking an example of the Draped Bust, Heraldic Eagle design. We caution bidders that visually appealing Choice AU examples such as this are very scarce in an absolute sense and quite rare compared to the demand for them from quality-conscious collectors. Don't miss this opportunity.
