1800 Draped Bust S$1. 12 arrows PCGS AU50
BB-196, the only use of this 12 arrows reverse die. There were 16 varieties issued in 1800 comprising a total mintage of 220,920 pieces, some with minor repunchings on the letters. Part of the reported mintage was doubtless dated 1799 (a commoner year), other were delivered in 1801, but dated 1800 to confuse the situation further. This has absolutely resplendent surfaces, antique-gray color, and depth of strike uncommon for an early bust dollar. Therefore, increase your estimates in view of that! Attractive medium gray surfaces with a few marks, a bunch of die cracks (especially noted on the reverse) and ideal for a Type set since BB-196 is plentiful in most grades, with about 500 to 950 survivors in all.
