B-7, BB-156, Rarity-4. This remarkable MS62 example, one of only two known Mint State specimens of the BB-156 variety, is a standout in the 1799 Draped Bust dollar series. In Bowers Die State III, it exhibits extensive reverse die cracks and a significant die bulge northeast of the eagle’s head, causing near-total loss of detail in that area—a feature Dave Bowers notes as much scarcer than Die State II in his 1993 Silver Dollar Encyclopedia. Despite this, the coin remains sharply defined, particularly along the borders, with only Liberty’s middle curls showing slight softness on the obverse. The surfaces display a silver-gray patina, accented by vibrant violet and antique gold hues. The BB-156 variety is typically found in XF or lower grades, with AU coins being rare and Mint State examples exceptionally so. This coin, the only Mint State BB-156 attributed by PCGS for its die variety, is tied with the MS62 R.L. Miles-Numisma ’95 specimen in the Bowers census, making it a prized rarity for collectors.
