As a chronological sibling to the "King of American Coins," and an important rarity in its own right, the 1803 issue represents the last legitimate bastion of the Early Dollar genre. Though the conventional production figure for the year as listed in some references, including the <em>Guide Book</em>, is 85,634 pieces, this number is derived from a combination of the delivery figures for the 1803 and 1804 calendar years, which assumes that all of the pieces struck during this time period were 1803-dated coins. While it is now obvious that no 1804-dated dollars were struck in the corresponding year, the delivery records of 1803 are similarly misleading in that coins bearing the dates 1801, 1802, and 1803 were likely produced contemporaneously. Because of these skewed figures, the true scarcity of the 1803 Draped Bust silver dollar is largely underestimated, alluding to the heightened demand for premium examples of this terminal-year issue. The 2013 reference <em>The Encyclopedia of United States Silver Dollars: 1794-1804</em> by Q. David Bowers allows for 500 to 950 survivors of the BB-252 dies. Most survivors are concentrated at the VF and EF grade levels; BB-252 is conditionally rare in AU, and rarer still in Mint State. The initial demeanor of this piece is dominated by deep olive and pewter tones across each side that enliven to emerald and amber iridescence under a light source. Luminescent tinges of mint luster peek out from the most protected regions, complementing the overall unblemished complexion throughout. The fields are pleasantly smooth and may even suggest reflectivity on the obverse, though magnified inspection reveals the faintest micro porosity atop the highest points that should be noted for accuracy. The overall definition is notably sharp, despite the exhausted reverse die and a slight central softness that is commonplace among examples this variety. Previous employments and subsequent lappings of the reverse have removed details of cloud 6, arrow shafts, and tail feathers, though the extant elements are exceptionally acute. With strong eye appeal and a substantial presence in-hand, this piece is an ideal representative of the Small 3 variety. <br />,,PCGS# 6900. NGC ID: 24XD.,,
