1799 ANACS AG03 Bust Dollar. I had to pull the Trigger on this one. . .

Finding these without problems/issues is tough

I know it's a low grade, but the next, slight bump up is almost double the price.
These old dollars have seen some significant gains in the last year or so.

I like the detail on the reverse. Admittingly, the obverse is what holds back the grade. (I'm hoping it won't be quite as dark, in hand.)

Does the "BB-164" on the slab have any significance? Reverse is very nice for an AG03.

I think that was a smart buy and the coin has a lot of character for an AG3..............nice Job!!!!

Thanks Shane for the good words.
Mike, I have no idea about the insert specifics. What variety this is, I have really no idea.

Looks nice. As stated before, the rev is really nice for AG

With a little luck you might get it downgraded to PO1 at PCGS!:

Well you just bought one of maybe five pre 1800 dollars sold this year that haven't be dipped. Now if you do dip it I'm sure it will grade Good 4; or much better it really does have a shot at the highly desireable and elusive POOR-2 upgrade. Either way you get the best "You Suck" of the week.

BB-164 is not a tough die marriage. Still, the coin looks very wholesome. Worn, but that's what it was supposed to happen to it. As Morgannut2 correctly suggested, with this series finding specimens that haven't been messed with is the real challenge!

IMO, a big to you for your acquisition.

Pat great purchase. Good honest wear. Looks quite attractive.

Thanks guys. I'm more and more appreciating the old and authentic work horses of the 19th and early 19th Century.

Pat,
I don 't know if you had to have the 1799 date, but if you just wanted a low grade bust dollar, Heritage also has a 1798 Large Eagle $, ANACS AG3, with a slightly nicer obverse, for the same price, $480, in their inventory, as of today. BTW, it's not mine. Just thought you like to know.

Pat,

Very nice dollar. One of these days, I will invest in one just like it. I have always wanted a pre-1800 dollar in my collection.

Great buy.

Richard.
