Lot 1060
1806 $1 Draped Bust. NGC graded AU-55. Choice and attractive, a coin well placed for inclusion in a U.S. Type Set. Easily recognizable variety: Pointed 6, stem, Y recut at left side, die cracks; defect lines at upper corners of shield. This somewhat elusive Rarity-3 variety is most easily identified by the die crack above the hair of Liberty on the obverse, and on the reverse by the broken patch on the shield. The list of finest examples sold at public auction (compiled by Stephen Herrman) includes pieces graded 65, 63, 63, 55, 55, 45. Pop 1; 5 finer for the variety, 2 in 58, 1 in 62, 1 in 63, 1 in 64.
Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000.
