Lot 1168
1799 Draped Bust Dollar. Normal date. ANACS graded EF-40. Toned a dull steel gray, probably from an ancient cleaning and retoning, a bit of luster still remains near the devices. This is an example of the later die state IV per Bowers, with the obverse cracks through the first three stars to the date, and an additional crack on the reverse at the D of UNITED. We feel that this coin was net graded by ANACS because of some hidden scratches on Liberty's drapery, and more bagmarks than one would expect for the grade. Nevertheless, the coin has lots of detail, and is of the desirable late die state, which should be worth a look from specialists.
Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,750.
From the John Haugh collection.
