Long Beach trade. One of the 3 rare die varieties for the date. This is the lowest of the 3 attributed and graded by PCGS, and it has a coveted green bean.
Here is a 1798 Draped Bust Dollar from my personal collection. Believe it or not I recently had it graded by PCGS. It was "raw" and stored in jeweler's tissue in a gray 2X2 envelope for approximately 25 years in a safe deposit box in Colorado. It is the plate coin in the first edition of the Bowers silver book published in 1993.
It now grades PCGS AU53. I paid a strong premium for on February 23, 1995 1995 when I purchased it.

BB-114? Those top 2 reverse stars crossing into the clouds and headless arrow make it a dead ringer. (I got the AU55 in that one. Yours is very nice!)

Those small eagle are fantastic!
I think one of those will be my next major purchase if I can bring myself to let go of a few things.
I’m tempted to sell my 90%. But that would guarantee spot silver jumping to about $25 an ounce.
and this pore ole orphan that nobody wants.
The only one I have a photo of.
Flowing Hairs are not Bust Dollars; but I like seeing them still.
Okay, if it HAS to be a TRUE....BUST dollar, then here:

My wife couldn't believe coins at that date in history had such booby cleavage. All I could say is...I know , right.
