Lot 1790
1801 Draped Bust Dollar. PCGS graded AU-58 Flannagan. One of the finest graded of the date, PCGS in their Population Report notes just 6 graded this high, with 2 graded higher (both MS-62). The surfaces are resplendent in their beauty, deep golden toning surrounds and enhances the devices. Liberty herself is bathed in silvery gray, and the periphery is slightly darker shades of gold. Perfectly matched and balanced on the reverse. For the date, the strike is pretty good, with separation on Liberty's high curls. Most of the original luster is present and this coin is highly appealing to the eye and will no doubt bring a strong price as such. This is the usual die state with the crack down through STA to the clouds, and out the first A in AMERICA. An opportunity to put away a truly rare and barely appreciated date. Identifiable by a tiny dig on the second S of STATES at the top.
Estimated Value $8,000 - 12,000.
From the Flannagan collection.
