Lot 1785
1800 Draped Bust Dollar. PCGS graded AU-55. Bolender describes this coin as a Rarity-1, but it probably should be up a notch or two from that as they are not that plentiful. Here is a very high grade example. The surfaces are steel gray in color and the coin retains luster in the fields after limited circulation and handling. Bust dollars are very hard to find in these high grades, PCGS has graded 26 in AU-55, with 17 graded AU-58 above, and only 9 coins in various mint state grades of the date. When it comes to varieties, very few of any given die pairing are found in high grades. Over the past few years, the coin market has begun to recognize and appreciate the true rarity of these early dollars and has started to price the accordingly.
Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000.
