<Our item number 120233><B>1800 Draped Bust Dollar. PCGS graded AU-50.</B> Nicely toned, very carefully preserved. Collectors who desire a basic Type coin to represent the heraldic eagle, draped bust style silver dollar, will do well to survey the pieces like this 1800 in the sale. There should be something for everyone, since Dr. Hesselgesser was known for his careful selection of quality piece to put into his collection. Bolender-13 &#40;formerly B-18&#41; equates with the Bowers listing for BB-193. 1800 BB-193, as we know the variety today, is one of the most plentiful dollars of the year, and is about tied with BB-187 as the most common. An estimated 700 to 1,200 are known. In the present text, the population of BB-193 includes what used to be called Bolender-18, from the same dies, but a later state with clashing. Today, specialists recognize Bolender-18 as simply a later die state of BB-193. On the obverse, star 13 is slightly closer to the bust than star 8 is from Y. Star 7 is much farther from L, and the star 1 is the farthest from hair, 2.75 mm. The left base of E is slightly high in relation to bottom of B. On the left, stars 4-5 and 5-6 are more closely spaced than are the others. On the right, stars 9-10 are the most closely spaced and stars 10-11 are the most widely spaced. This obverse was used to strike 1800 BB-193 only. <B>Pop 1; 2 finer, 1 in 55, 1 in 58</B>.
