Lot 1791
1801 Draped Bust Dollar. ANACS graded AU-50. This is a rare later die state coin that is very scarce in high grade. The reverse die shows a sharp die crack through down through STA of STATES, into the clouds, eagle's wing and AM. Another faint crack is present along the left wing top feather, first cloud, star below, three center row stars above the eagle's head, and fourth star near the cloud where it ends in the cloud above. Another feature which is very unusual are the dentils clashed through the letters MERICA from the obverse die. While not the terminal state of the dies with the heavy swelling through AME, this is later than most found. Frosty luster throughout with bright gold toning on the obverse and reverse, fading to reddish hues at the rims. Minor hairlines from circulation but no marks worthy of note. An excellent coin for the advanced collector.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 5,000.
