1803 Draped Bust Dollar ($1) Large 3

Wholesome and original, this VF example shows even, medium gray patina with lighter high point highlights and solid rims all around. The obverse fields are pleasantly smooth for the grade with only scattered circulation marks and a faint old line that blends into the skin; the reverse mirrors that look with strong legends, clear stars and clouds, and no distracting rim bumps. Wear is balanced and the devices remain crisp for VF, giving the piece a steady, circulated cameo look and steady eye appeal. Nicely attributed as BB-255, B-6 on the NGC holder.
