Lot 1770
1798 Draped Bust Dollar. Small eagle reverse, 15 stars on obverse. ANACS graded EF-45. A scarce coin that is always in demand by type, date and variety collectors alike. This one appears to have been retoned with a yellowish gold shade and has average surfaces for the grade. As to the strike, it's better than normal as most are quite weak on the reverse, not so here, the eagle and his feet are sharp for the variety. Examination of the surfaces will note a slight pebbly appearance which was possibly the result of a long past cleaning or improper storage, nevertheless. Strong hair detail on Liberty and we note some breast feathers are visible with a glass on the reverse, making this a very significant offering to today's dollar collector. If you have been searching high and low for a high grade example, then take a look at this lot.
Estimated Value $4,500 - 6,500.
