- 1798 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. Heraldic Eagle. BB-123, B-25. Rarity-4. Pointed 9, Close Date. AU-53 (PCGS).
Really a lovely example, satin to softly frosted luster is very much in evidence on lightly toned surfaces. Generally silver-gray with a blush of champagne-apricot, splashes of reddish-russet and cobalt blue peripheral iridescence find their greatest expression along the upper left reverse. Sharply defined in most areas with a pleasingly smooth appearance in hand. Known as the "blundered stars" variety, the BB-123 die pairing gets its name from the misplaced stars in the reverse array that have been punched into the clouds above. Always a favorite among early dollar collectors, this attractive piece is surely deserving of serious consideration. BB Die State II-III, the obverse periphery just beginning to show cracks.
Provenance: From the Legacy Collection.
PCGS# 6873. NGC ID: 24X6.
