1795 Bolender 2

F |
$3,300.00 |
(R-3). Fine. A short raised bar in the obverse field at star 4 identifies this important variety, as does the reverse wreath displaying 9 berries left and 10 right. Smooth silver surfaces and decently detailed reliefs combine to create this coin's very real visual quality. A splendid coin for either a date or type collection. |

1795 B.5. Six Curls, 3 Leaves under Wing

$3,250.00 |
Very Fine. Marvelously smooth surfaces are toned a harmonious medium gray with much reflective quality. Careful study under a glass reveals some well concealed graffiti in the right obverse field and some scratches below the reverse wreath which at first glance can be confused with adjustment marks. |

Fine in strict terms of wear. Gray toning surrounds the reliefs, careful study reveals skillful smoothing at the centers. The reverse displays several diagonal adjustment marks. |

1797 B.1. Stars 9x7

VF |
$475.00 |
Basically Very Fine in terms of wear but holed and rather crudely plugged through 'BE'. Polished and showing bright surfaces but an interesting example of this date and type. |

1797 B.3. Stars 10x6, Large Letters

CH VF |
$5,000.00 |
Choice Very Fine. Here is a moderately circulated example of a generally sought-after date, and the only 1797 variety sporting this highly distinctive obverse star arrangement. The fields are both smooth and pleasing. They and the strongly detailed devices, stars and legends are bathed in glowing rose and underlying pearly steel-gray for outstanding visual effect. With only three major... more |

$7,000.00 |
Choice About Uncirculated. This obverse displays 13 Stars with clearly defined die dots or chips appearing between the curl and first star, a raised line to the right of the '8'. This coin boasts exceptionally well formed, high outer rims on either side enriched by a wealth of pale lilac and clear golden toning. |

Very Good as far a circulation is concerned, but holed and plugged in the left obverse field behind Liberty's head. |

1798 B.12 (R-4). Missing Stars
|
AB EF |
$2,200.00 |
About Extremely Fine and a forthright, honest example of this grade with some lustre lingering around the boldly defined reliefs and devices. The strike is typically uneven for the variety, the reverse showing three stars missing above the eagle, four other stars quite weakly impressed in this later die state. |

$10,500.00 |
Choice About Uncirculated, on the edge of Mint State. A strong dot located in the folds of Liberty's drapery above the first '9', broken top to 'U' in UNITED identify this important variety. Boldly struck and detailed, deep steel and clear rose toning join to increase this outstanding coin's self-evident visual appeal. NGC AU58. |

1799 B.14. Lumps below AM.

Extremely Fine in terms of definition. Lightly toned surfaces show evidence of repair, burnishing and what appears to be a skillful plug right of the date. |

G |
$750.00 |
Good. This interesting Dollar certainly testifies to the tenacity in circulation of some of our early Dollars. A slightly convex planchet caused disproportionate wear at the centers but the lightly toned, silvery coin is otherwise astonishingly free of special problems. |

1800 B.14 (R-3). Dotted Date

AU |

Another. Choice Very Fine. Bold, sharply defined die dots located above and below the first '0' identify this well-named and sought-after variety. Die State IV shows advanced die cracks on either side, emphasized by the coin's remarkably smooth fields, light gray and lilac toning.

About Very Fine. Generally smooth, golden gray surfaces include definite hints of pale lavender in the toning. Well struck and exhibiting a pair of very minor rim bruises near 'OF' on the reverse. A glass discovers many fine surface marks, none of which diminish the overall eye appeal of this early Silver Dollar. The 1803 is the scarcest date among the Heraldic Eagle type. As such, this... more |

Fine to Very Fine. Well struck, displaying bold devices, smooth fields that have been well protected by unusually high outer rims. Gently cleaned at some time, now showing pale gray at the peripheries. This coin's incuse edge inscription is strangely blundered, including some partial words and some inverted letters, other letters with stars struck over them: * HUNDRED (ornament) ****/... more |

Deeply reflective fields show understated iridescent gold and blue. Boldly struck but for the hair detail in Miss Liberty's head. Of the 1,330 pieces struck in Proof, of which all but 527 were melted down, very few surviving today can match the excellent condition and resultant appeal of this example. PCGS PR64. |

It is the finest of three graded NGC Proof-66 examples, and is topped by only one example rated NGC Proof-68. The coin is a dramatic opposite to the many mishandled Liberty Seated Proofs known to today's numismatists.... more |
