Lot 1100
1802/1 Draped Bust $1 B-4, BB-232 Closed Date. Rarity 4. PCGS graded AU-53. A gorgeous AU53 example of the finest order. The highly lustrous surfaces exhibit mingled medium to deep "antique silver" color throughout. Nicely struck as well, not fully so, but near enough to merit mention here.
Only 41,650 silver dollars were reported as having been coined in calendar year 1802. However, the proportionately large number of extant specimens indicates that many more than that must have been coined bearing the 1802 date, in 1803 and/or 1804. Overdates exist in narrow date and wide date form. Pop 1; 2 finer in 55. Only 5 examples graded for the variety at PCGS. (PCGS # 40092) .
Estimated Value $12,000 - 13,000.
Ex; Hesselgesser Collection.
