1800 Draped Bust Dollar, Notable XF45
Scarce B-4a, BB-186, Late Die State

1800 $1 B-4a, BB-186, R.4, XF45 PCGS. Ex: Miller. Bowers Die State III (Bolender 4a). Die flaws at ES of STATES confirm the reverse die, which was employed for the BB-184, BB-185, and BB-187 varieties as well. The obverse is unique to BB-186, where it sustained heavy obverse die cracks that ended the useful life of the die. A bold crack from the top rim runs between IB of LIBERTY into the hair, while an equally impressive crack branches through 18 of the date and travels in an arc through the 1, through the bust, and terminates at star 12. Additional cracks exist at star 1 to the ribbon and at the points of stars 10 to 12. This is a Choice XF example, softly struck on the obverse as always, but still-lustrous at the margins. Warm, powder-gray toning covers the devices and contrasts with the silver-gray fields for great eye appeal.
