1799 B-14, BB-167 Normal Date 7X6 Stars Rarity 3. PCGS graded AU-58. Subset of PCGS # 40043. In a new secure plus holder. Condition Census. A genuinely pleasing About Uncirculated 58 specimen with luster that practically flies off the surface. Subtle hints of champagne and other toning bring out the expansiveness of the detail while it enhances the unexpectedly beautiful eye appeal of this coin.
1799 BB-167 is in the middle range of varieties of this year so far as availability is concerned. About 201 to 500 are known. Most examples are in grades of Fine and VF, with an occasional EF. Any coin finer than that is truly exceptional. This is another of many early dollar varieties that is readily available in VF grade but becomes a rarity if finer. Pop 1; none finer at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 40058) .
Estimated Value $14,000-UP.
