Lot 5132
1803 B-1, BB-251 Small 3 Rarity 4. PCGS graded AU-50 PQ. Subset of PCGS # 6900. In a new secure plus holder. Condition Census. Previously graded AU53 by NGC. A small mark on the neck; lovely golden russet on a fine layer of medium gray patina, with each side complementing the other in terms of color, surface integrity, and strike detail.
The 1803 BB-251 dollar is scarce. Probably, about 76 to 200 exist totally, just enough to make it a challenge for the advanced collector to find. EF coins are scarce, AU pieces are very rare (if, indeed, any more than these exist -- see below), and Mint State specimens have not been seen. Pop 2; none finer at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 40096) .
Estimated Value $10,000-UP.
The Dr. Hesselgesser Collection.
