1798 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. Heraldic Eagle. BB-105, B-23. Rarity-3. AU Details--Cleaned (PCGS). Predominantly brilliant with plenty of bright satin luster in evidence, this coin also retains sharp to full striking detail in virtually all areas of the design. The impression is nicely centered on both sides, further enhancing the visual appeal. Shades of sea-green and midnight blue toning noted on the reverse. Wispy hairlines on both sides point to a cleaning which explains the PCGS qualifier. Although BB-105 is one of the two most readily obtainable die marriages of the 1798 silver dollar (BB-125 is the other), AU examples such as this are rare from a condition standpoint. A more affordable, yet still significant example that will surely appeal to advanced early dollar variety enthusiasts. From the Macon Collection.
