- The Thaler-Hesselgesser Specimen of the 1802/1 BB-232 Dollar Among the Finest Known 1802/1 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-232, B-4. Rarity-4. Narrow Date. AU-55 (PCGS). Superb frosty luster on pleasing light golden-gray surfaces, the obverse devices further enhanced by wisps of coppery toning. Sharp and very attractive with lovely eye appeal. A trio of Choice AU coins make up the lower reaches of Q. David Bowers' list of "Notable Specimens" for this variety in the 2013 edition of his Encyclopedia of United States Silver Dollars: 1794-1804. The present example is included on that list, along with the Cardinal Collection and Miller specimens. A condition rarity par excellence for this challenging die marriage of the 1802-dated silver dollar issue. BB Die State II, the usual state with a short die crack (as made) from the end of Liberty's bust to star 13. Provenance: From the Collection of Thaddeus A. Tatum III. Earlier from our (American Numismatic Rarities') sale of the Thaler Collection, March 2006, lot 1074; Ira & Larry Goldbergs' sale of the Dr. Hesselgesser Collection, September 2011, lot 5125. PCGS# 40092. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
