Lot 1781
1799 Draped Bust Dollar. Normal date. ANACS graded AU-50. This is a wonderful late die state example of this fairly common variety. It is BB-160 die state IV, with several die cracks on the obverse. For the die state, this coin is scarce in this grade, and would certainly satisfy even the most advanced collector. Minimal wear on the highest points of Liberty, with luster and light silvery-gray shades throughout. We note the usual light hairlines, which are present on the surfaces of this and virtually every other silver coin of the era. Clean rims and fields for the grade. The raised rim area on the obverse near stars two through four is not a rim bump, but a small rim cud which is seen on most of the late die state coins of this variety, and is frequently mislabeled a rim bump. This is a nice coin the collector who loves broken and cracked dies.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,500.
