1800 B-10, BB-190 Wide Date Low 8 Rarity 3. PCGS graded AU-55+ PQ. CAC Approved. Subset of PCGS # 6888. Condition Census. Wonderful original toning graces both sides of this fascinatingly beautiful Silver Dollar from the year Thomas Jefferson ran for and won the Presidential Election. The array of rich old-silver color contains gray and a little champagne gold with silver silvery sparkle in the accents around devices. A small area of striking weakness is seen at the bison's shoulder on the reverse, but the present gem is still extraordinarily beautiful. Obverse stars razor-sharp. Reverse stars have some that are rounded on their tops, and the only area which might be considered less than full is the right wing as the viewer looks at it where it joins the edge of the shield. There, the feathers have almost flattened out, but in other areas, they glow, their tiny veins and detail finely visible to the naked eye. Wide date, 00 very wide apart, and the 8 too low. The 8th star is close to Y, last star not quite so near bust. Star 7 is distant from L, Star 1 still farther from hair. Die clash marks in field near stars 12 and 13, probably the cause of the relapping (a rather unusual occurrence among 1800-dated dollars) that made the highest curl on the head incomplete. This obverse die used to strike 1800 BB-190 (earlier use) and BB-191 (later use). Among dollars of this date, 1800 BB-190 is one of the most plentiful issues. As many as 201 to 500 are believed to exist. Although the issue is readily available, most known specimens are in circulated grades. BB-190 is elusive AU, and in Mint State is rare. Pop 1; 1 finer in 58 for the variety . Estimated Value $18,000-UP. The Dr. Hesselgesser Collection. Categories: The Dr. Hesselgesser Collection of Bust Dollars
