<Our item number 108148><B>1799 Draped Bust Dollar. BB-161, B-11A, Rarity 5. NGC graded EF-45.</B> Lightly toned on both sides, with smooth and balanced light wear from circulation. The deepest gray hue can be found in the fields surrounding lighter gray devices in a typical two-tone effect found on only the very choicest, uncleaned specimens like this.<BR><BR>The present population of 1799 BB-161 is believed to be about 600 to 1,100 according to Bowers. Most of these are of middle dies states. While BB-161 is obtainable easily enough in lower grades, in Extremely Fine or higher the issue is scarce, with true Mint States being notable rarities. &#34;BB-161 has no berries in the branch on the reverse,&#34; observes the Bowers silver dollar guide, &#34;a fact not generally known, as Milferd H. Bolender noted that it has &#39;one tiny berry.&#39; Granted, it may have a trace of an erstwhile berry, but anything approaching a full berry, no.&#34; Pop 4; 4 finer. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;3,300-3,600. <I><BR>Ex Dr. Hesselgesser.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 108148<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/39jpegs/108148.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/39jpegs/108148N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
