- 1798 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. Heraldic Eagle. BB-122, B-14. Rarity-3. Pointed 9, Wide Date. AU-50 (PCGS).
With iridescent reddish-apricot undertones to dominant retoning in smoky pewter-gray. Boldly to sharply defined overall. Silver dollar production continued at a good clip into 1798. Official Mint records report that 327,536 examples of the denomination were coined in the 1798 calendar year, including coins bearing dates other than 1798. Bowers estimates that around 235,000 1798-dated coins were actually struck. The BB-122 variety is of moderate conditional rarity within this striking period, with most examples found in the lesser Very Fine levels of preservation. However, above Extremely Fine this die pairing becomes extremely scarce. The Condition Census just barely breaches the Mint State threshold with one or two pieces, leaving the majority of the census concentrated in the middle to lower About Uncirculated grades. BB Die State IV.
Provenance: From the Rick Collection of Silver Dollars, Part II.
PCGS# 40018. NGC ID: 24X6.
