1799 Draped Bust Dollar ($1)

Fresh, honest XF45 in a PCGS gold shield holder with the look we like - even antique silver-gray layered with warm gold and olive highlights, a touch deeper at the rims. The wear is smooth and balanced, leaving strong definition in the hair and eagle with pleasing residual luster tucked into the protected curls and shield recesses. Surfaces are natural and unmolested for the grade, just a notch shy of AU. Eye appeal is notably above average for a circulated 1799, and the coin sits beautifully in the holder.
