Description
1802 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-241, B-6. Rarity-1. Narrow Date. AU-55 (PCGS).
This flashy piece exhibits soft steel-gray and olive peripheral iridescence around bright, virtually brilliant centers. Abundant mint frost remains, and the detail is sharp to full throughout the design. A few handling marks in and around the central obverse are noted, the most significant of which is a light scratch in the upper left field that we mention for completeness. This die pairing of the 1802-dated silver dollar issue is a perennial favorite among type collectors seeking an example of the Draped Bust, Heraldic Eagle design. We caution bidders that attractive Choice AU examples such as this are very scarce in an absolute sense and quite rare compared to the demand for them from quality-conscious collectors. Don't miss this opportunity. BB Die State III.
PCGS# 40087. NGC ID: 24XB.
From the Legacy Collection. Earlier ex D.L. Hansen Collection; Legend Rare Coin Auctions' sale of the Big Cypress Collection, December 2021 Regency Auction 49, lot 197.
