Lot 856
1800 Draped Bust Dollar. "Dotted date" from die breaks. . B-14. PCGS graded EF-45 Premium Quality. A choice example of this popular variety, the coin has delicious blue, gold and green toning around the periphery, silvery-white on the stars and devices, and even more intense color on the reverse. The surfaces show the usual tiny handling marks, but they are small, unimportant and seen on all circulated silver of the period. This is an early die state, and the die lumps in the date are smaller than seen on later strikes. The hair on Liberty is sharp and shows good separation, and this coin could easily be called a grade higher in terms of wear and abundant eye appeal. Popular as a Redbook coin and with variety collectors, this one should realize a strong price.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.
