Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 2859 1800 B.17. Only 12 arrows in the eagle's talon on the reverse CH BU $30,000.00 Choice Brilliant Uncirculated. Frosty mint lustre augments chisel-sharp devices on either side. Each and every element of the design is fully struck including the eagle's breast feathers above the shield on the reverse. Wisps of jade, subtle gold, and electric-blue iridescence adorn the protected areas of the design and wonderfully embellish the visual allure of this exceptional example....  more 2860 1800 B.19 ''AMERICAI'' CH VF $2,500.00 Choice Very Fine, nearly Extremely Fine. Pleasing medium to dark gray with lighter silver devices. The surfaces show scattered handling marks, including a small series of ticks near Liberty's cheek and temple. Sharply struck and boasting good eye appeal for the grade. A later die state with die cracks through '18' and LIBERTY and the die scratch right of the eagle's tail is quite thick...  more 2861 1801 B.2. Die Crack Left Wing-Rim CH AU $5,500.00 Choice About Uncirculated, approaching Mint State. Here is a very early obverse die state showing none of the die clashing noted by the late Jules Reiver. The smoothest and largely lustrous silver surfaces give this example its wonderfully bold and satisfying semi-prooflike flash. This coin's condition represents the highest grade that can realistically be found for the variety, as specialists...  more 2862 1801 B.3 (R-3) CH EF $4,500.00 Choice Extremely Fine. A classic example of this date, the strike is sharp on all but the upper curls of Liberty's head, which show minor softness--the norm for 1801 Silver Dollars. The reverse is bold on the stars, clouds and even the eagle's tiny breast feathers are full and complete. Toned in light steel-gray with a hint of blue, about as perfect as one could hope for. Excellent surfaces...  more 2863 1802/1 B.1 (R-4). Narrow Date VF $2,200.00 Very Fine in terms of wear, but tooled and harshly cleaned. The surfaces are dull and somewhat porous from a buffing process which has left hairlines in the fields and on the devices, possibly to remove light graffiti or corrosion. Retoned a light steel color with brownish-gold accents near the lettering and devices. A few rim marks are present. A scarce die pairing. 2864 1802/1 B.3 (R-3) EF $3,000.00 Extremely Fine. Light silver with a blush of golden toning over the surfaces. The devices are sharp and the overdate feature is clear to the unaided eye. On this obverse die, there is a small lump which resides in the large field inside the two upper right stars, and the reverse die shows minor evidence of clashing from Liberty's drapery. On the reverse a planchet flaw extends from the...  more 2865 1802/1 B.3 (R-3). Wide Date CH F $1,000.00 Choice Fine. A decent strike and good surfaces are slightly offset by minor evidence of cleaning, which left directional hairlines on the obverse. No rim problems and decent eye appeal. A small patch of corrosion on the inside field near the two upper left stars. 2866 1802 B.6. Narrow Date. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated CH BU $25,000.00 Toned with fiery coppery-gold and blue, the particularly vibrant blue relegated to the periphery. The fields are lustrous although we do note some minor evidence of contact particularly in the right obverse field. Well struck as usually seen, with all devices present. The obverse has some minor adjustment marks on the lower rim, some of which cross through Liberty's bust. Although a...  more 2867 1802 B.6. Narrow Date CH AU $9,000.00 Choice About Uncirculated, and close to Mint State. Delicate golden toning with traces of deeper russet near the rims. The strike is full and complete for this late date Bust Dollar, with full definition on Liberty's upper curls, and the stars (obverse and reverse) show bold centers. Even the eagle's tiny breast feathers retain their rounded tips across the rows. Identifiable by shallow...  more 2868 1802 B.6. Narrow Date CH AU $6,500.00 Choice About Uncirculated. One of the most common die pairings of any Draped Bust Dollar, but always in strong demand for the date. Toned with light steel-gray with blue accents through the stars and legend. Exceptional eye appeal for the clean surfaces and regal toning, all elements missing from the vast majority of Bust Dollars. The obverse and reverse die held up extremely well, developing...  more 2869 1802 B.6. Narrow Date AU $5,500.00 About Uncirculated. Light silver with a splash of gray near the second star on the obverse, where a minor edge flaw is seen in the denticles. Traces of lustre remain in the protected areas, and the coin has a well struck and balanced appearance. No adjustment marks or rim bumps are seen. Identifiable by a small cluster of nicks on Liberty's neck. One of the most common die pairings of...  more 2870 1802 B.6. Narrow Date CH EF $5,000.00 Choice Extremely Fine. Lustrous and attractive for the reflective fields and delicate gold toning. The surfaces have faint hairlines from circulation, and there is a small rim bruise on the obverse by the eleventh star. Liberty's curls are bold and display excellent definition expected for a high end coin of this grade. The reverse is well struck and pleasing, although there is one sharp...  more 2871 1802 B.6. Close Date EF $2,900.00 Extremely Fine. Medium gray toning with some lighter areas present. An adequate strike gives this coin a distinguished appearance. A few small surface marks at and above the breast. Still has a respectable look and should be considered by Bust Dollar enthusiasts. 2872 1803 B.5 (R-3) CH AU $18,000.00 Choice About Uncirculated, on the cusp of Mint State. Full cartwheel lustre blazes forth from the obverse, subdued slightly by rich golden-russet toning with a splash of blue near Liberty's bust. The reverse sports more toning, with red and gold over most of the surfaces, although patches of green and blue are seen in the fields. Radiant lustre makes its presence known on the reverse...  more Page 2 of 2  •  First  Previous  Next  Last  • Goto Page
