Lot 1602
1800. B-13, BB-193. Rarity 4. NGC graded AU Details. Damaged, Cleaned. Looks like this early bust dollar was struck from a faulty planchet. Plenty of detail present. Toned.
Die Notes: Obverse: Star 13 slightly closer to bust than Star 8 is from Y. Star 7 is much farther from L, and the star 1 is the farthest from hair, 2.75 mm. Left base of E slightly high in relation to bottom of B (this same characteristic is true of the different obverse used to strike BB-188 and BB-189). On the left, stars 4-5 and 5-6 are more closely spaced than are the others. On the right, stars 9-10 are the most closely spaced and stars 10-11 are the most widely spaced. Obverse die used to strike 1800 BB-193 only.
REVERSE H: Similar to BB-188, but A and M touch, and A in STATES is in different position; A over cloud 3 (mostly) and area between clouds 3 and 4. Tip of arrowhead under and just slightly right of center of U in UNITED. Reverse die used to strike 1800 BB-193 only. Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000
