<Our item number 120236><B>1801 Draped Bust Dollar. PCGS graded AU-53.</B> Evenly toned on both sides though with a mildly variegated effect between lighter and darker silvery shades. Most attractive! A relatively scarce variety. This hard-working obverse die was used to strike 1801 BB-211 &#40;earliest use&#41;, BB-212 &#40;intermediate use&#41;, and BB-213 &#40;latest use&#41;. It is paired to the unique-to-BB-213 reverse in which a point of one star touches the outside of upper part of eagle&#39;s beak. The right foot of all T&#39;s missing in the legend, the result of a broken punch &#40;apparently, this die was made immediately after the die for 1801 BB-214, which has a partially broken lower right serif&#41;. The letter A touches the third feather only. As 1801 BB-213 was struck after 1801 BB-212 &#40;per obverse die state evidence&#41;, and as 1801 BB-212 was struck no earlier than 1802, it follows that 1801 BB-213 was also struck no earlier than 1802. <B>Pop 2; 1 finer in 55</B>. Rarity 3 <B>&#40;PCGS # 40085&#41;</B>. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;7,000-7,500. <I><BR>The Dr. Robert Hesselgesser Collection.</I> <BR><BR>Our item number 120236<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/120236.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/120236N2.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/42jpegs/120236N3.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
