1799 Draped Bust Dollar PCGS AU53 CAC Ex. Hesselgesser B-19 BB-155
Covered in a wholesome gray tone blanketing the surfaces, this 1799 Draped Bust Dollar comes with lovely russet and gold daubs around the periphery, enhancing the immaculate and undisturbed surfaces. The fields are exceptionally clean, and this Early Dollar has a razor sharp strike, with the stars fully defined.
This coin is from the collection of Robert Hesselgesser, who is well known for his Early US coinage, which always has a fantastic degree of surface preservation and orignality. The market has been robust for Early Dollars with surfaces like this one, and the details of this coin are superb for the grade. The price may seem aggresive, but when you look at the jump to the CAC CPG for AU-55, and compare this example to AU55 APRs and other coins currently on the market, you will see why we paid up for this one.
