1798 Draped Bust Dollar. Heraldic eagle reverse, close date. ANACS graded VF-25. Here is another rare double struck Bust dollar. The entire reverse is sharply doubled, with a healthy shift between the strikes. There is no evidence of doubling on the obverse. Dark gray toning with minor verdigris hidden in the devices, and we note faint surface scratches in the right obverse field. For the variety, this coin may be near the lower end of the Condition Census, and more work will be done on that in the near future. Certainly a rare coin in even moderate grades, and to find an error of this variety is quite unusual. Identifiable by a rim bump below the arrow feathers, and of course, the double striking on the reverse.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,500.
Purchased privately by John Haugh from Jonathan Kern.
