1800 B-19, BB-192 Close Date AMERICAI Rarity 2. PCGS graded MS-61. Subset of PCGS # 6892. In a new secure plus holder. A significant offering of what is surely one of the desirable Condition Census examples of the variety. Warm golden gray surfaces exhibit strong luster and a satin, almost matte-like quality that really engages the aesthetic sense with its serene beauty. The AMERICAI variety is something of a mystery; the question is asked, what was the cause of the reverse die flaw that slightly resembles an wayward I in the field? Bowers gives his opinion that the stray mark is "perhaps from a punch or from a stray piece of metal during the die making process … ." Breen, in his Complete Encyclopedia, suggested that the errant letter might be "the right leg of a mostly effaced A," although close examination of the mark indicates that this is not the case. Whatever the reason, the desirability of this variety has continued to this day. BB-192 is the more common of the two AMERICAI 1800 dollar varieties, though both are legitimately rare in Mint State. Rich, satiny luster blankets both sides of this boldly impressed early dollar. Those seeking a high end specimen of this popular variety will prudently watch to the current offering. Pop 1; none finer at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 40082) . Estimated Value $25,000-UP. The Dr. Hesselgesser Collection. Categories: Dollars
