Description
1802 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-241, B-6. Rarity-1. Narrow Date. AU-55 (NGC).
Richly toned surfaces are awash in blended copper-gray, deep mauve and steel-blue. We note abundant frosty luster and near-universal sharpness of detail on both sides of this smooth and well preserved early dollar. A shallow planchet streak behind the ends of the ribbon in Liberty's hair is as made and serves as a useful identifier. 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 scarce in an absolute sense and quite rare compared for demand for them from quality-conscious collectors. Don't miss this opportunity. BB Die State III.
PCGS# 6895. NGC ID: 24XB.
From the Legacy Collection. Earlier from Heritage's CSNS Signature Auction of April 2021, lot 4345.
