- Near Mint State BB-166 1799 Silver Dollar
Popular "Apostrophe" Variety
1799 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-166, B-9. Rarity-1. AU-58 (NGC).
This enticing near-Mint example has vivid golden-olive, powder blue and salmon-pink peripheral highlights that are more extensive on the obverse. The balance of the surfaces are brilliant apart from faint champagne-apricot iridescence drifting through the central obverse. Much frosty luster remains to surfaces that are smooth in hand with only faint, easily overlooked handling marks. An overall sharp strike adds to the appeal of this highly desirable piece. BB Die State V.
The BB-166 die marriage is one of the most available of the 19 known pairings of the 1799-dated silver dollar issue. Notable for the so-called "apostrophe" die defect on the reverse after the second S in STATES, this variety has long been sought by variety specialists. The BB-166 was well used in commerce, and the bulk of all known specimens are at the VF and EF grade levels, with survivors very scarce any finer. With its strong strike and equally strong eye appeal, the offered coin in NGC AU-58 is certain to see spirited bidding activity.
PCGS# 6878. NGC ID: 24X7.
