- 1798 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. Heraldic Eagle. BB-119, B-29. Rarity-4. Pointed 9, Close Date. EF-40 (NGC).
A bright golden-silver specimen with modest wear overall. Some weakness is noted at the obverse periphery and the stars and UNITED on the reverse. This is due, in part, to severe die clashing at the Philadelphia Mint when coined. From the first year of the new Heraldic or Large Eagle reverse; the Small Eagle reverse was also in play in the early part of the year. The Draped Bust dollar series has experienced a new awakening in the past several years, and pleasing EF and finer coins lead the charge. As with most other series, particularly the early types, the EF grade is a welcomed level for collectors, offering the best of both worlds -- high quality and affordability are two important factors. The present coin answers the call for a quality coin with the potential for a reasonable hammer price, and we expect strong bidding response for this specimen.
Provenance: From the Birdwatcher Type Set, with a portion of the proceeds to benefit The Nature Conservancy.
PCGS# 40036. NGC ID: 24X6.
