1799 Draped Bust Dollar ($1)

Smoky dove-gray patina with soft lavender undertones and hints of olive-gold in the recesses gives this 1799 dollar a thoroughly original, crusty look. Wear is even and light, leaving bold curl definition, crisp drapery folds, and well-defined wing feathers, while glints of luster linger around the stars and legends. Surfaces are smooth and wholesome for the grade, with nothing distracting. A green CAC sticker completes a handsome early dollar with strong eye appeal.
