Lot 2353
1803 Draped Bust Dollar. Small 3. . B-1. PCGS graded AU-55. Probably high in the condition census for the variety, as this date is virtually impossible to locate in full mint state grades (PCGS notes only 8 graded of the date in mint state condition), with a small cluster in AU grades below. Frosty luster in the fields, and especially so on the reverse, and toned a light golden gray color. The surfaces show minor handling marks and are problem free. Sharply impressed on the devices, including the stars and curls on the obverse, and similar on the reverse. As a date, 1803 is far rarer than most of the Bust dollar series. Identifiable by a tiny nick in the wing from the top of the L in PLURIBUS to over the first U of that word up at an angle.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
