Lot Description

1798 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. Large Eagle. BB-116, B-30a. Rarity-4. Bowers Die State VI. Pointed 9, Close Date. EF-40 (PCGS). Pleasing silver-gray surfaces are further enhanced by speckles of olive-russet patina in isolated areas at the borders. This piece is well defined despite a bit of minor striking softness in the centers, there being only light, evenly distributed wear to report. We see no abrasions of note.
