Lot 2907
1803 Draped Bust Dollar. Large 3. Rarity 1/2. PCGS graded AU-53. Nicely toned on both sides. And yet another gorgeous specimen, a coin that defines the AU53 grade and then some! Obverse with a thick top 3 in date; star 13 close to the bust. This reverse was used to coin dollars dated 1801, 1802 and 1803. An estimated 1,250 to 2,000 specimens are known of 1803 BB-255, making it about as plentiful as 1802 BB-241, and, like it, the 1803 BB-255 dominates its year, accounting for more coins than all other die varieties of 1803 combined. Notwithstanding all of this, the overall choice quality of pieces struck by this set of dies makes the variety an excellent pick for the Type Set buyer. Pop 3; 1 finer in 55 (PCGS # 40101) .
Estimated Value $8,000 - 8,500.
The Dr. Robert Hesselgesser Collection.
