Lot 2892
1800 Draped Bust Dollar. Rarity 2. PCGS graded AU-50. Even toning on both sides somewhat deeper near the rims and around the date area, although natural dark gray elsewhere, with very choice fields and just as choice devices. A firm bold strike. The 1800 BB-187 is about tied with BB-193 as the most plentiful variety of the year. About 700 to 1,200 are known to exist. On this variety, the obverse has a close date in which the 1 almost touches the curl. The 8 is too low and the top tipped to the right. The last O is near bust. There is a die dot just to left of highest curl on top of head. On the left, stars 1, 2 and 3 are more widely spaced from each other than are stars 5, 6, and 7. On the right, stars 9 and 10 are more widely spaced than are any others. Pop 1; 3 finer, 2 in 55, 1 in 63 (PCGS # 40073) .
Estimated Value $6,000 - 6,500.
