1799 7x6 Stars Draped Bust Dollar, VF25
B-21, BB-169, Scarce Early Die State
1799 $1 7x6 Stars, B-21, BB-169, R.3, VF25 PCGS. CAC. Bowers
Die State II, a rare early die state. This smoothly worn,
well-defined VF25 dollar richly deserves its CAC endorsement. The
coin is free of adjustment marks or post-Mint detractions, with
medium-gray surfaces that lighten to silver-gray at the high points
for strong, natural eye appeal. A newly formed die crack appears
through 99 in the date to Liberty's drapery, characterizing this
early die state. Most BB-169 examples display numerous anomalies
and die cracks typical of later die stages. The present piece has
bold rims and well-formed dentils that accompany virtually
mark-free surfaces -- unexpected for the assigned VF25 grade.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24X7, Variety PCGS# 40060, Base PCGS# 6878, Greysheet# 71326)
