- 1799/8 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-142, B-1. Rarity-4. 13-Star Reverse. AU-53 (NGC). Mottled olive and silver-gray patina with underlying cobalt blue associated with the former color. The strike is soft at Liberty's bust and in the opposing area on the reverse, but it is well centered with plenty of bold AU detail otherwise. Traces of frosty mint luster persist on this handsome example. There is only one obverse die of the 1799-dated silver dollar issue that shows this overdate feature. Although this die developed cracks and was lapped severely, it proved hardy enough to be paired with three different reverse dies to create the three known 1799/8 varieties BB-141, BB-142 and BB-143. The BB-142, offered here, is readily attributable by the extensive die damage at the letter I in AMERICA seen on all examples struck from this reverse. About Uncirculated examples such as this are rare. BB Die State III. Provenance: From the Legacy Collection.
