1800 Bust $1. AMERICAI PCGS VF35
<Our item number 129101><B>1800 Draped Bust Dollar. &#34;AMERICAI&#34;. B-11, BB-191 Rarity 5. PCGS graded VF-35.</B> Shades of light blue gun metal grey colors with a few old hairline strokes on the portrait. A desirable Red Book variety. This is by far the rarer of the two AMERICAI varieties &#40;same reverse used on both BB-191 and BB-192&#41;. BB-191 dollars survive to the extent of an estimated 200 to 350 coins, ranking it among the scarcer issues of a year with many elusive varieties. The desirability of BB-191 is greatly increased by the AMERICAI feature on the reverse, of course, which is the result of a stray mark from a punch that is in the right position to make it appear &#40;with some imagination&#41; as the letter I, hence AMERICAI. Bolender thought to label it as &#34;excessively rare&#34; and noted that it took him 35 years to find a specimen! Don&#39;t let the grass grow under your feet that long before you place your bid. <B>Pop 1; 1 finer in 50.</B> <B>&#40;PCGS # 40081&#41;</B>. <BR>Estima ted Value &#36;2,300 - 2,500. <I><BR>The Dr. Hesselgesser Duplicate Bust Dollar Collection.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 129101<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/129101.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/129101N2.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/129101N3.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/44jpegs/129101N4.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
