- A Second Choice AU 1800 Dollar BB-193 1800 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-193, B-13, 18. Rarity-4. AU-55 (PCGS). CAC. A wonderfully original example with a sharp to full strike and nearly complete satin luster. The obverse is toned in iridescent olive-gray with vivid golden-apricot, powder blue and pale red undertones evident at direct lighting angles. For the reverse we note more reserved pearl gray patina, although a strong light calls forth more vivid highlights of pinkish-apricot and lilac-blue. Vying with BB-187 as the most frequently encountered die marriage of the 1800 silver dollar, BB-193 includes a number of Choice AU and Mint State examples on its list of notable specimen as compiled by Q. David Bowers in the 2013 edition of The Encyclopedia of United States Silver Dollars: 1794-1804. Off the market for decades, this exceptionally well preserved and attractive AU-55 is a newcomer to that list, and would do justice to the finest early dollar cabinet. BB Die State III (formerly attributed as B-18). PCGS# 6887. NGC ID: 24X9. Provenance: From the Alexander Collection.
