Lot 1783
1799 Draped Bust Dollar. Normal date. EF-45. A scarce variety that is a bit tough to find this nice. Examination of the surfaces will note minor handling marks on both sides, and the coin is a bit more scuffy than average. Cleaned and retoned, as seen on virtually all early silver coins. Toned with pleasant gold and blue shades, with darker areas around the periphery and some lighter patches on both sides. Identifiable by a tiny rim tick above the R of LIBERTY and a hidden pin prick at the back of Liberty's eye. An intermediate die state with light reverse cracks through the lettering. An acceptable coin for this variety, in a good collector grade.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000.
