Lot 589
1797 Draped Bust Dollar. 10 stars left, 6 right. EF-40. Either retoned artificially or else this laid in a cedar chest for ages. The color is dark, almost black, with greenish tinges. Even if the color was induced to cover up some surface problems, we cannot see those problems now, and in fact the immediate impression is of a coin that's quite desirable. The rims are faultless. The surfaces, both sides, are without major blemishes. The strike is sharp and the centering is excellent. In all, a balanced look in a coin that's a classic type among early American issues. Check it out and bid according to how much it appeals to you personally.
