Lot 3050
1799. BB-155, B-19, Rarity 5. PCGS graded Fine-15. Approx 110 in existense. One of the rare die varieties this year (estimated population of 70 to 110 according to Bowers). Lightly cleaned long ago, there is also some faint striation in the obverse surface (as made), but the rims are choice, the devices complete for a coin in Fine quality.
1799 BB-155 (old Bolender-19) is one of the key rarities of the year. "I believe that only 70 to 110 exist today," explains Bowers in his silver dollar encyclopedia. "Most examples of the 1799 BB-155 dollar are in lower grades through EF. Only a few AU and Mint State coins exist." Pop 70. (PCGS # 6878) .
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,200.
