***Auction Highlight*** 1798 BB-111 VEDS Pointed 9, 4 Lines R3 Draped Bust $1 Graded XF++ By USCG. Up for Auction is the Finest Known Bowers Die State II example of the BB-111, a very rare Draped Bust Dollar, with none known in mint state and it being questionable whether any true AU examples exist. Die State II, is well before the heavy die cracks on the obverse have formed. This variety is rare, and most known examples are in the mid to lower circulated grades. XF coins are considered high-end, and AU pieces are undeniably rare; Q. David Bowers, writing in Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States, questions whether or not full AU examples actually exist, let alone a Mint State piece. The Choice XF. coin here offered is undoubtedly one of the finest known examples of the variety, with subtle luster residing beneath a blanket of golden-gray and gunmetal-blue hues. The strike is sharp and well-centered, with just slight wear over the high points of the design. Overall, a very pleasing example of this elusive issue A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
