Lot Description

1801 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. B-4, BB-214. Rarity-4. BB Die State II. AU-55 (NGC). Frosty lilac gray surfaces with bursts of vibrant sea green, neon blue, and other rainbow iridescence at the rims when presented under a bright light source. The surfaces are essentially flawless to the unassisted eye, and the design motifs are sharp for the type and grade combination. Undeniably choice for the grade. If a high-grade early Draped Bust dollar is on your numismatic wish-list, you will do well to examine the present beauty -- we predict you will want to take this one home!
