Lot 4017
1803 Draped Bust Dollar. Small 3. Rarity 2. PCGS graded AU-53. CAC approved. B-5, BB-252. Nicely toned. A fresh and sleekly toned example whose residual luster seems poised to attract the attention of bidders who have a critical eye for high quality. Plus we find the toning to be just right, antique color like this is becoming the exception rather than the rule in an age where cleaned surfaces or retouched color seem to plague the early bust dollar series. Finally, the coin is more than just adequately struck. It has nearly full details on both sides with only slight diminishment in the hair curls. Definitely a choice one! Weigh this razor-thin PCGS population before submitting a bid: Pop 2; none finer for the variety at PCGS (PCGS # 40097) .
Estimated Value $8,500 - 9,000.
