Lot 2869
1796 Draped Bust Dollar. AU-53. Lovely natural toning on both sides. Maybe retoned but the overall surface texture and originality is what really matters with this well struck piece. A classic design, the obverse features a draped bust right of Liberty while on the reverse, there is a small eagle. Rim dentils complete and wide, and best of all the rims are blemish-free. Mainly as a result of many researchers and numismatists expending energy with this early silver dollar series, collectors find a wealth of information available recorded concerning the various die varieties and historical anecdotes of the coin's manufacture at the First Philadelphia Mint. Those who like the challenge in mastering a date and variety set of early dollars will find this 1796 to be a coin that matters.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
Ex: The Brentwood Park Estate.
