CAC. The 1798 Draped Bust silver dollar, BB-118 variety, is a distinctive variety defined by its Pointed 9 date and the reverse with four vertical shield lines. Certified XF-40 by PCGS and approved by CAC, this example sits at the upper end of what is typically encountered for the variety. PCGS has graded only 20 pieces of BB-118 in total, with just five at this level and only four finer. In CAC, there are 4 in XF40 with just 1 finer.


The reverse displays the notable Arc Star pattern, a subtle but important characteristic for specialists of early dollar die marriages. This variety has long attracted attention for its combination of identifiable diagnostics and relative availability compared to rarer 1798 marriages, yet it remains elusive in higher circulated grades.

As Q. David Bowers observed in 1993, an estimated 275 to 450 pieces survive, most in lower grades through Very Fine. Extremely Fine coins appear only occasionally, while About Uncirculated examples are genuinely rare. This XF-40 specimen represents a desirable balance of rarity, quality, and historical appeal within the early dollar series.
