Lot 2882
1799 Draped Bust Dollar. . B-16, BB-158. PCGS graded AU-55. Lightly toned and well struck. There is a small mark in the field above the head (close to the hair) and another, equally minor mark on the drapery fold below the shoulder. These are, borrowing from the Hawaiian terminology, "minini", which means inconsequential or trifling to the overall fresh beauty and originality of the piece. We should not have mentioned them. Forget we said they are there. And focus instead on the devices which are as "sharp as a two-edged sword" (PCGS # 6878) .
Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,000.
