The 1799 Draped Bust Silver Dollar, graded PCGS VF-30, represents a cornerstone of early American numismatics. PCGS has graded only 13 of the rare BB-151 variety. Of those, there are 3 in VF30 with 4 finer.
Struck in the Philadelphia Mint, this coin features Robert Scot’s iconic Draped Bust design on the obverse, with Liberty facing right, her hair flowing beneath a ribbon inscribed “LIBERTY.” The date “1799” appears below in the distinctive Irregular Date style of the BB-151 variety, where the “9” digits are unevenly spaced and slightly tilted, a diagnostic hallmark of this die marriage.
The reverse showcases a heraldic eagle clutching an olive branch and arrows, surrounded by 13 stars arranged in an arc—a nod to the original colonies. The BB-151 die pair is further identified by a diagnostic die crack on the reverse from the rim through the eagle’s wing to the cloud. In VF-30 condition, the coin exhibits moderate wear with sharp remaining details, including full lettering and clear design elements, making it a highly desirable artifact of American numismatic history.
