Lot 1526
1798 Draped Bust Dollar. Heraldic eagle reverse, close date. . Bolender-27, BB-113, Rarity-2. NGC graded AU-58. A lustrous, sharp and soft gray example with a delicate patina. The obverse has russet hues embedded in the recessed areas and surrounding Liberty. The surfaces have light hairlines and three scratches exist just left of star 8 in the field. The reverse is a more uniform silver color with metal flow lines still visible in the periphery. This is a very choice early Draped Bust dollar and much finer than many seen in the AU58 class. All detail is bold from a sharp impression of the dies and a delicate, radiating luster shifts across the surfaces and is quite pleasing. For this variety, BB-113, NGC has graded only 2 in AU-58, 1 in MS-61, 1 in MS-62 and 1 in MS-64.
Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,500.
