1799 Draped Bust Dollar, Colorful AU50
B-8, BB-165, 7x6 Stars
Ex: Benson

1799 $1 7x6 Stars, B-8, BB-165, R.3, AU50 PCGS. Ex: Benson. Bowers Die State I, lacking the usual die crack through LIB of LIBERTY. Colorful iridescent toning graces both sides of this attractive About Uncirculated 1799 dollar. Underlying mint luster reveals shades of blue, yellow-gold, and violet surrounding warm-gray centers for excellent eye appeal. Although the BB-165 variety is an available die pair, few About Uncirculated 1799 early dollars of any variety can match this AU50 example for eye appeal and bold strike for the grade. The Benson Collection pedigree speaks well for the coin's high quality.
Ex: Benson Collection Part II (Goldbergs, 2/2002), lot 1166.
