Lot 1683
1799 Draped Bust Dollar. 9 over 8. 15 stars on reverse. NGC graded MS-64. Lovely original toning on both sides. Here, too, we are pleased to describe a frosty bust dollar as among the finest order whose explosive cartwheel frost underpins the exciting and well-developed toned surfaces. Piercingly sharp for the date, easily finer in sharpness than many in nominally higher grades, it also displays the curious error of having 15 stars above the eagle (two of which are partially hidden beneath clouds at left and right!) -- a marvelous looking coin for the connoisseur of this series. Pop 1; the finest graded for the variety.
Estimated Value $70,000 - 80,000.
