***Auction Highlight*** 1801 BB-213 B-3 Draped Bust Dollar $1 Graded au58 By SEGS. HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT - Up for Auction is one of the finest known BB-213 801 Draped Bust Dollars. Classic gunmetal-blue and gray toning on both sides of this high grade coin. The strike is sharp and the surfaces are free of any detracting marks. The obverse die was slightly misaligned from the reverse, so the left dentils are missing from that area, but extra long and extended on the right. This reverse die is interesting as all the T's in the legend are missing their right serif, as it had broken off the punch. The obverse does have the serif in LIBERTY so it must have been engraved at a different time. This broken T punch shows up again in 1802 on the B-6, BB-241 variety. Certainly in the top five for the variety, as not many of these are known this well preserved, and only 4 are known in mint state. I am including the au55 example of this variety that sold at auction. If you look at miss liberty's drape and hair on the au55 example it will be very obvious that ours rises to au58 level, we dare say au58+ would have been more accurate. 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
