Early Dollars
1800 $1 B-5, BB-189, R.4, XF45 NGC. Bowers Die State I, from perfect dies with no obverse or reverse cracks. A lovely gold-toned example with iridescent overtones and traces of underlying luster. This lovely dollar exhibits a few widely scattered marks that are nearly invisible without a glass. Bowers estimates that as many as 200 examples survive, although that estimate seems optimistic.
