1800 Dollar, B-14, BB-194, MS65
Dotted Date, Important Guide Book Variety
Condition Census Quality

1800 $1 Dotted Date, B-14, BB-194, R.3, MS65 NGC. Bowers Die State V, the late die state with a triple dentil between B and E of LIBERTY and a strong die crack through the center of O in OF. The 1800 Draped Bust silver dollar issue has two renowned varieties that attract collector attention. One is the AMERICAI reverse (BB-191 and BB-192), with its curious stray mark after the second A in AMERICA that somewhat resembles an "I." The other is the present BB-194 Dotted Date variety, which displays an array of tiny die breaks and lumps around the first 0 in 1800. Other dot-like die breaks are scattered throughout the obverse, notably near Liberty's chin and mouth and between L and I of LIBERTY.

This splendid Gem Uncirculated example is the former Cardinal Collection coin, recognized as the finest Dotted Date dollar known. The surface quality and originality of this early dollar is remarkable. This is a well-centered dollar, showing complete denticles on each side and no troubling adjustment marks. The few small marks that exist on each side are neither noteworthy nor easily useful in tracing the coin's pedigree. Rather, the sumptuous toning is of the greatest assistance since this coin is layered in multiple shadings of deep-blue and gray over abase of light golden patina that is prominent at the peripheries. Satiny mint luster glows throughout. The coin is sharply struck in all areas of the design -- particularly Liberty's hair curls and at the obverse stars. Given its late die state, the sharpness and preservation of this coin is exceptional. We strongly believe this coin belongs among the finest specimens of this major early dollar variety, as confirmed by its well-heeled pedigree and frequent mention at or near the top of all thee various Condition Census listings. It represents a rare opportunity for the advanced early dollar collector, one not to missed! NGC Census: 3 in 65, 0 finer (11/23).
