The 1799/8 $1 Draped Bust Silver Dollar, graded PCGS XF-40 (BB-142, 13 Reverse Stars), is a captivating piece of early American coinage. Designed by Robert Scot, it features a draped Liberty bust on the obverse and a heraldic eagle with 13 stars on the reverse. The 1799/8 overdate, where the mint reused a 1798 die, reflects the early U.S. Mint’s resourcefulness during a time of limited technology and silver shortages. The overdate and die crumbling at the I in AMERICA are diagnostic of the BB-142.
PCGS has graded only 27 examples of the BB-142. Of those, there is 1 in XF40 with 11 finer. Collector’s Universe (CU) prices this variety at $6,250.00 in XF40. Therefore, you will save $1,325 off the CU price when you purchase this coin.
This piece, in XF-40 condition, displays moderate wear with clear details in Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s feathers, retaining much of its original appeal. The BB-142 variety, with 13 reverse stars, is a notable die pairing from the 1799 mintage of 423,515. Its circulated yet well-preserved state makes it desirable for collectors seeking affordable, high-quality examples of early dollars.
