- 1803 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-255, B-6. Rarity-2. Large 3. AU-50 (NGC). The date 1803 is the latest that appears on circulation strike Draped Bust silver dollars, although some examples were produced in 1804 and 1805. On the Large 3 obverse used for this variety, the 3 is repunched low, this features diagnostic for the BB-255 attribution. In late 2014 a new obverse die was discovered that also displays the Large 3 style, but that 3 is not repunched. Furthermore the new obverse die has a strongly repunched T of LIBERTY with the post showing below the primary letter. That was the first new variety discovered in the Bust dollar series in more than a decade, confirming that numismatists are always learning new things when studying old coins. Here is a classic high grade example that will provide hours of enjoyment to an advanced collector seeking one of these handsome early U.S. Mint silver coins. BB Die State II. Provenance: From our sale of the Highland Collection, February 2015 Americana Sale, lot 2267. PCGS# 40101. Click here for certification details from NGC.
