1799 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-163, B-10. Rarity-3. Bowers Die State III. AU-55 (PCGS). Secure Holder. Near-fully struck, this minimally worn survivor retains intricate definition to virtually all elements of the design.

Free of troublesome abrasions, and sure to be of keen interest to the high-grade type collector or early Dollar enthusiast.
