Lot 5101
1800 B-1, BB-181 Normal Date Rarity 5. PCGS graded AU-55. Subset of PCGS # 6887. In a new secure plus holder. Condition Census. If it is detail you want from a Bust Dollar, then it is detail you will receive with this wonderful, boldly made and superbly preserved About Uncirculated 55 example. In addition to having immaculate surfaces, even the finest, most delicate detail can be seen on this coin struck with uncommon exactness for the issue.
Die notes: 180 close in date. TY too far apart. The 1 in date barely misses touching the hair. On the reverse, a leaf touches lower right corner of serif of I in AMERICA (compare to reverse of BB-183, which touches bottom of I at a different point). Point of star touches point of lower part of eagle's beak. A in AMERICA touches only 3rd feather. First T in STATES is double punched. AME joined at lower part. This is one of the scarcer varieties of the year. We estimate that 90 to 160 exist in all grades combined. Pop 1; none finer at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 40067) .
Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
