Early Dollars
1800 $1 Dotted Date, B-14, BB-194, R.3, Fine 12 PCGS. Bowers Die State IV. An unlisted late die state with the obverse die sunken in the vicinity of the date. We have yet to see an example of BB-194 that matches Bowers Die State V; likely a cataloger confused the triple dentil between the BE in LIBERTY as a rim die break. A charming example with consistent deep lavender-gray toning. Marks are minimal except for a couple of unobtrusive thin marks on the starry field above the eagle's head.
