<Our item number 112965><B>1800. Bust Dollar. PCGS VF 35. B-<B>11, BB-191</B>. PCGS graded VF-35.</B> AMERICAI variety. Only 2 graded at PCGS for the variety. Nicely toned specimen. A few light hairlines. AMERICAI variety &#40;one of two AMERICAI varieties, the other, which shares this reverse, is BB-192&#41;. After the word AMERICA, an almost vertical line, a stray mark &#40;apparently, not a die crack&#41;, perhaps from a punch or from a stray piece of metal during the die making process, appears more or less like an &#34;I&#34; added. There are no serifs to the stray mark, and it takes some imagination to call it an I, but the nomenclature has been with us for a long time, and &#34;AMERICAI&#34; it is. Nowhere else in the silver dollar series has a stray die mark done so much for a coin&#39;s reputation in the eyes of collectors. Other characteristics: Star enters eagle&#39;s mouth; point of lower part of beak touches star lightly below point. Upper part of beak does not quite touch. <B>Pop 1; 1 finer in 5 0</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;2,500-2,700. <I><BR>Ex: Dr. Hesselgesser Collection.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 112965<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/112965.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/41jpegs/112965N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
