Lot Description

1800 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. B-19, BB-192. Rarity-2. BB Die State I. AMERICAI. VF-30 (NGC). Choice for the grade with excellent design definition and eye appeal. The deep lilac-gray surfaces offer some pale neon-blue iridescence at the rims and are completely original in our estimation with no signs of cleaning or doctoring of any other sort; those two negatives tend to plague the supply of "daddy dollars" in today's numismatic marketplace. The well-known variety with an I-like die marker after the final A in AMERICA which gives the variety its AMERICAI moniker. An attractive early dollar that is ready to take its place in an advanced U.S. type set.
