    How can that coin be anything less than AU50?

    Without reading the replies, I will say AU53 and if not what a shame. Very nice $, I mean very nice.
    Congrats on a great wait for a great coin.

    Really nice! I like the detail and the look.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    45 or 50. The series tends to get graded conservatively, so I'll go with the former.

    Beautiful coin. AU50.
  • bosco5041bosco5041 Posts: 1,303 ✭
    Really nice bust dollar, AU 50 is my guess.
  • jayPemjayPem Posts: 4,081 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Here's the grade !
    Alot of you nailed it and I agree with the grade, even though the coin is a beauty in hand, it doesn't quite feel AU....I'll put it to the CAC test here shortly though.
    Oh yeah, cheers to Dave Olmstead for another smooth deal !

    yeah, about that...

    During 1798, the silver dollar underwent another design change, this time to present the image of the United States as a stronger, more battle-ready nation. With the Draped Bust Large Eagle Dollar type, the obverse continues with the same image of lady Liberty; however, the reverse is greatly re-designed to follow the Great Seal of the United States. The reverse now depicts a larger "heraldic" eagle with a shield to its front and a ribbon in its beak bearing the motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM." The eagle's right foot (viewer's left) holds a grouping of arrows, while its left (viewer's right) holds an olive branch. Above the eagle's head is an arc of seven clouds and an arrangement of 13 stars. As with the earlier types, the denomination does not appear on either the obverse or reverse of the coin: it appears on the edge of the coin instead. Draped Bust Large Eagle dollars were minted bearing the dates 1798 through 1803. While dollars of each of these dates may generally be found with some effort, those dated 1799 were minted in the greatest quantity and so are generally the most readily available. Therefore, the collector seeking a nice specimen of this type will typically select one dated in 1799.

    I guess what I am saying is that you might consider learning more about the design of the coin image

    Hey, we all knew what he meant when he said "clashed cotton balls". I agree with you that
    collectors should know more about the history of their coins.
