The 1799/8 Draped Bust Silver Dollar, variety BB-143 with 13 reverse stars, stands as a pinnacle of early American numismatics. Designed by Robert Scot, this overdate variety features the iconic Liberty on the obverse, while the reverse depicts a heraldic eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch amid a constellation of stars.
Minted at the Philadelphia Mint with an original mintage of 423,515 for 1799, there are few survivors of the BB-143. PCGS has graded only 15 examples of this rare variety. Of those, there is one in XF40 with just 5 finer. In CAC, there is one in XF40 with just one finer.
This coin embodies the nascent U.S. economy's ambition, circulated amid trade tensions yet enduring as a collector's treasure. Its rarity and historical significance make it a must-have for enthusiasts of early dollars.
