Description
1800 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-187, B-16. Rarity-2. EF-45 (NGC). CAC.
A lustrous Choice EF early dollar that also offers bold definition to most design elements. The eagle's head, breast and wings on the reverse and the hair curls over Liberty's forehead on the obverse are soft due to a combination of striking incompleteness and wear. Attractively original in preservation, smooth-looking surfaces exhibit mottled overtones of vivid reddish-russet, olive-gold, champagne-pink and steel-blue to a base of warm pearl-gray patina. BB-187 vies with BB-193 as the most readily obtainable die marriage of the 1800 Draped Bust silver dollar. However, the BB-187 is quite challenging to locate in high grades, especially for an early dollar with such a relatively large extant population. This handsome NGC/CAC EF-45 represents good value for the astute bidder. BB Die State V.
PCGS# 6887. NGC ID: 24X9.
From the Legacy Collection.
