Lot 847
1798 Draped Bust Dollar. Small eagle reverse, 15 stars on obverse. . B-2. PCGS graded Fine-15. Lovely steel gray in color on the obverse, with darker hues in the fields, and some sunset tones around the lower peripery. The reverse is weakly struck, as always, and we note minor adjustment marks around the rims. Remember, this reverse die was used every year from 1795 through 1798, with seven different obverse dies, and this was its final usage. It is apparent that the reverse die had been ground down by the Mint to remove clash marks or perhaps light die cracks, and thus the devices are very shallow. Clean rims and surfaces for the grade, and perfect for the type collector.
Estimated Value $1,700 - 2,200.
