1799 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-157, B-5. Rarity-2. AU-50 (PCGS).A boldly and original toned example with a smooth and inviting appearance. The strike is generally well centered with ample sharpness of detail remaining on both sides. As one of the more frequently encountered die marriages of the 1799 dollar, BB-157 is an ideal candidate to represent the Draped Bust, Heraldic Eagle design in a type set. We caution bidders, however, that the vast majority of survivors are in lower grades through VF, which fact confirms the conditionally scarce nature of the present AU.
