CAC. 1803 Draped Bust $1 Large 3 BB-255. Boldly defined overall with ample frosty luster to generally antique silver-gray surfaces. A few swirls of steel-blue patina are evident on the reverse, both sides also revealing flashes of pale sandy-gold tinting as the coin dips into a light. The date 1803 is the latest that appears on circulation strike Draped Bust silver dollars, although some examples were produced in 1804 and 1805. On the Large 3 obverse used for this variety, the 3 is repunched low, this features diagnostic for the BB-255 attribution. In late 2014 a new obverse die was discovered that also displays the Large 3 style, but that 3 is not repunched. Furthermore the new obverse die has a strongly repunched T in LIBERTY with the post showing below the primary letter. That was the first new variety discovered in the Bust dollar series in more than a decade, confirming that numismatists are always learning new things when studying old coins. Here is a classic high grade example of the well known BB-255 attribution that will provide hours of enjoyment to an advanced collector seeking one of these handsome early U.S. Mint silver coins. BB Die State II.  Provenance: From the Legacy Collection.
