Lot 1779
1799 Draped Bust Dollar. Normal date. PCGS graded AU-58. As a date, 1799 is the most "common" date found in high grades of the bust dollar series. But this is relative, to be sure, as the current PCGS Population Report shows only 38 graded as such, with 44 graded in various mint state grades. In total, that's less than 100 coins! This particular one had steel gray and gold toning throughout over lustrous fields. As to the surfaces, they are very nice for even this high grade, and all collectors will love the coin. Further, it is a late die state with a healthy die crack through the legend on the reverse. Softly struck on the central reverse stars, which is unusual for a 1799, as most are found boldly struck. A rare opportunity, and probably one of the finest known of the variety.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 8,000.
