Early Dollars
1800 $1 Wide Date, Low 8, B-10, BB-190, R.3, XF45 PCGS. Bowers Die State VI. Sharply defined for the XF grade, this high-end example is struck from the latest state of the dies with multiple reverse die cracks. Autumn-gold luster glows from protected areas across smooth, minimally marked surfaces. Lovely brownish-gray toning with tan accents covers both sides, enriched by blue overtones. Although readily available in lower circulated grades, the Wide Date BB-190 is elusive in About Uncirculated or finer conditions, making this Choice XF an attractive alternative.
From The R. Thayer Sheets Yorktown Collection.
