1798 Draped Bust Dollar, AU55
B-27, BB-113, Pointed 9, Close Date

1798 $1 Large Eagle, Pointed 9, Close Date, AU55 NGC. B-27, BB-113, R.2. Mint luster emanates from Liberty's hair strands and glows from the colorfully toned peripheries of this boldly detailed Draped Bust dollar. Silver-gray centers merge into gold and aqua margins characteristic of dollars stored in cardboard albums many years ago, acquiring a concentric patina much-valued today. This is a nice example of the 1798 date with the Heraldic Eagle reverse, showing little wear and no significant marks from what must have been a very short time in circulation.
