Lot 1188
1800 Draped Bust Dollar. "AMERICAI". PCGS graded EF-40. A very popular variety. Nicely toned. The AMERICAI variety is the odd-man-out when it comes to Bust Dollars; many collectors are left scratching their heads in trying to explain the cause of the reverse die flaw that loosely resembles an I without serifs. It may be a stray mark from the engraver's tool. Whatever the cause, collectors have seen fit to call it the AMERICAI variety. Well struck. The underlying dove-gray toning is nicely framed by slightly mellower "old silver" color around devices. Those seeking an attractive example of this popular variety will pay careful attention to the current offering (PCGS # 40082) .
Estimated Value $3,500 - 3,700.
