Early Dollars
1801 $1 B-1, BB-211, R.3, AU58 PCGS. Bowers Die State IV, cracked through STATES. Excluding the Novodel proof dies, there are four die pairings for the 1801 Draped Bust dollar. None are particularly scarce in the absolute sense, although none are particularly available in high grade either. The bulk of the surviving 1801 dollar population is in VF and lower grades with many impaired coins. About Uncirculated coins are scarce, and Mint State pieces are genuinely rare at any level. This near-Mint BB-211 example is sharply detailed, showing only a brush of high-point friction across original, golden-toned surfaces. Elements of luster remain in the fields, and the strike quality is outstanding. It would be extremely difficult to locate a visually finer Draped Bust type coin below the Mint State grade level. Population (all 1801 varieties included): 22 in 58, 11 finer (6/17).
