The 1803 Draped Bust Silver Dollar, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, represents the final year of this iconic early American series, designed by engraver Robert Scot. Featuring Liberty draped in flowing garments on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse, this coin was minted to rival Spanish silver dollars in international trade. The "Large 3" variety distinguishes it with a bolder, more rounded numeral in the date compared to the rarer "Small 3," making it slightly more accessible to collectors.
Graded PCGS XF-40, this specimen exhibits sharp details with moderate wear on Liberty's hair curls and drapery folds, while the eagle's feathers and shield remain boldly defined. PCGS has graded 37 as XF40 with 94 finer. In CAC, there are 9 in XF40 with 25 finer.
Encapsulated by the Professional Coin Grading Service, it ensures authenticity and protection. The Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC) sticker elevates its appeal, indicating superior eye appeal and value above typical XF-40 peers. This coin appeals to type collectors and history buffs, offering a tangible link to post-Revolutionary America. Its scarcity in high grades underscores its numismatic prestige.
