1799 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-166, B-9. Rarity-1. AU-50 (PCGS).Lustrous for the grade and generally untoned, this ideal AU type candidate also retains plenty of bold to sharp detail despite a soft strike in isolated areas. Wisps of pale reddish-gold iridescence here and there around the peripheries add further appeal. BB-166 vies with BB-163 as the most plentiful die marriage of the 1799-dated silver dollar issue, although with the majority of survivors grading no finer than EF the present example is scarce from a condition standpoint and sure to appeal to advanced collectors. BB Die State V.From the Newmark Collection. Earlier from our (Stacks) March Sale of 1985, lot 1231. Lot tag included.
