Losbeschreibung

1798 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. Heraldic Eagle. BB-96, B-6. Rarity-3. Knob 9, 10 Arrows, 5 Vertical Lines. VF-35 (NGC). Pleasing dove-gray patina blankets surfaces that are impressively smooth in hand for an early dollar that saw moderate commercial use. The obverse impression is drawn trivially to 12 o'clock, the reverse better centered, and both sides are boldly defined apart from characteristic (for the die pairing) softness of strike in the centers. Q. David Bowers (2013) provides an estimate of 500 to 800 coins extant in all grades for the BB-96 pairing, sufficient to make this variety a popular choice for type collectors in grades such as that offered here. BB Die State II. PCGS# 6873. NGC ID: 24X6. Click here for certification details from NGC.
