Lot 1594
1799 Draped Bust Dollar. 8 stars left, 5 right. . BB-159. NGC graded AU-50. Excellent detail with remarkably clean surfaces and natural antique toning. A high degree of original surface color graces the fresh-looking silver gray features of this impeccably preserved early bust silver dollar. Unusual for this design, the die maker placed 8 stars behind Liberty and only 5 in front, making up the requisite 13 stars (for the original 13 States), but leaving the design out of balance. This is a Red Book variety that many collectors are after in choice condition. Few will find one as attractive as this! Pop 1; 7 finer; 3 in 55; 3 in 58; 1 in 61.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
