Description
1798 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. Heraldic Eagle. BB-121, B-9a. Rarity-5. Pointed 9, Close Date. AU-53 (PCGS).
Light silver-gray surfaces reveal plenty of soft mint luster as the coin rotates under a light. Central striking detail is soft, more noticeable on the reverse than the obverse, but the peripheral detail is sharper and includes crisp border denticulation. There are no marks of consequence. BB-121 is the popular and scarce Amateur Diecutter's Reverse variety of the 1798 Draped Bust dollar. Q. David Bowers (2103) describes this die pairing as "a rarity in AU grade." BB Die State III.
PCGS# 6873. NGC ID: 24X6.
