Lot 1658
1798 Draped Bust Dollar. Small eagle reverse, 15 stars on obverse. PCGS graded EF-45. Lovely toning. Well struck. Each silver dollar of this era has the edge lettered HUNDRED CENTS ONE DOLLAR OR UNIT (plus ornamentation). As photographs do not usually include edge lettering, and as the edges of coins sealed in holders cannot be examined easily (if at all), it is not easy for a scholar to gain further information. This coin puts on a grand display of medium to deep gray color with some iridescence added to the mix along with natural brown toning. The high points are lighter silver gray color. Pop 9 with 7 finer at PCGS (PCGS # 6868) .
Estimated Value $9,000 - 11,000.
