Lot 2883
1799 Draped Bust Dollar. Fine-12. BB-111. Die State VII. A late-stage die break in the shape of a comet crosses the portrait and extends down to the rim at the 13th star on this 1798 variety. From the Bowers encyclopedia: "1798 BB-111 is in the medium range of scarcity among dollars of this date. An estimated 250 to 450 exist. A perusal of auction data dramatically reveals that VF is a high grade for this issue, and that an EF specimen is noteworthy. The average grade of F-19 is one of the lower figures among 1798 silver dollars. This issue circulated extensively, to say the least."
Estimated Value $800 - 1,000.
