L1078 - 1799/8 Draped Bust $1 B-1, BB-142 13 Stars PCG
1799/8 B-1, BB-142. Rarity 4 13 Stars. PCGS graded AU-50. A glossy high-grade coin and a lustrous one by any benchmark with residual dullish gray luster in and around the main devices. What's more, this has an engaging display of pale silvery iridescence that overlays the choice fields of what everone agrees is a desirable Redbook overdate, the first overdate in the Bust Dollar series. The strike is strong for the date, with just a touch of weakness on portions of the word PLURIBUS. Pop 1; 2 finer in 62. Only 5 examples graded for the variety at PCGS. (PCGS # 40065).

Die State III: Die flaws advanced at I of AMERICA; die cracked at ATES OF, wing to ribbon, and at AME. Crack from denticles to left side of O, on to junction of clouds 6 and 7. Cracks around much of the border; die shattered.
Estimated Value $6,000 - 7,000.
Ex; Hesselgesser Collection.
