- 1800 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-194, B-14. Rarity-3. Dotted Date. AU-53 (PCGS). Intensely lustrous frosty to semi-reflective surfaces shine forth powerfully through an overlay of iridescent golden-tan and powder blue patina. The strike is well centered and sharp in virtually all areas. A touch of glossiness to the texture is noted for accuracy, but we see no singularly mentionable marks. The obverse die of this variety developed a number of pits in its surface, particularly around the date, that resulted in raised dots on the coins it struck. These lumps give the 1800 BB-194 variety its popular name as the Dotted Date variety. No examples are known without these raised dots at the date. Although the BB-194 is not a major variety in the overall numismatic scheme of things - it is actually the result of die deterioration and nothing more - it is listed in the Guide Book, the foremost arbiter of numismatic fashions, and thus demand for it is extraordinary. The coin offered here is superior to most and would make an impressive addition to an advanced early dollar cabinet. BB Die State II-III, intermediate die state. Provenance: From the Legacy Collection. PCGS# 6889. NGC ID: 24X9. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
