1800. "Dotted date" from die breaks. BB-194; B-14 R3. PCGS graded AU-53. Mostly untoned with original luster well into the fields on both sides. More than this, the coin presents a very decent strike for the Type as well as for this particular variety. Pop 2; 5 in 55; 1 in 58; 1 in 64 graded for this variety at PCGS.
Dotted date variety, that is, curious die breaks or cracks are visible inside and above first 0 in date. Tiny dot-like die breaks appear in many other places as well, particularly between L and I, under nose, before chin, below first star, and under the 6th and 7th stars. The steel used to make this die must have been substandard. Yet from the production numbers, it must have been able to withstand the constant pounding to strike these big pieces of silver. People nowadays talk a lot about the redistribution of wealth. Well, why not redistribute this handsome coin's ownership into your possession? A strong bid is required, that is obvious, but why not do so and enjoy the pleasant consequences (PCGS # 6889) .
