Early Dollars
1800 $1 AMERICAI, B-19, BB-192, R.2, AU55 PCGS. Bowers Die State I, and rare as such. Well-centered and boldly struck on a good planchet, this attractive dollar shows minimal wear and considerable sharpness on all the motifs. Brassy-gold patina covers both sides, and considerable remaining mint luster shines through. Virtually no marks of any note exist in the fields or on the devices -- a notable departure from most examples that show die clashing above the date and die cracks at the reverse legend. The AMERICAI dollars are so-named for the distinctive "I" die scratch near the eagle's claw, and the variety is unfailingly popular with early dollar collectors.
Ex: Houston Signature (Heritage, 12/2014), lot 3623.
