1800 Draped Bust $1 B-5, BB-189. Rarity 5. PCGS graded EF-45. A first-rate Extremely Fine example with richly permeating shades of old-silver patina that flow across the choice, mark-free surfaces. The color is lightest in the central region atop Liberty and the eagle, and then develops greater saturation to steel gray around the stars and legends. Satisfactorily struck for the date, too, indeed, about as excellent as this BB-189 variety is ever found. The coin's next owner will love this one!
About 200 to 350 examples of 1800 BB-189 are estimated to survive, making it one of the rarer varieties of the year. Still, specimens appear for sale often enough that the specialist will experience no difficulty in acquiring one. Pop 3; None finer at PCGS for the variety. (PCGS # 40075) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
Ex; Miller/Hesselgesser Collection.
