Hey guys just wanted to share my new pickup from NNC. I never thought I would ever own one of these and so I’m super excited to have it. I know it’s in very low condition but it’s still a 1799 Draped Bust Dollar so I’m happy with it. ^_^
Wow nice thats my top on my bucket list a pre 1800 silver dollar i love silver dollars for now I can only afford mint state morgans and peace dollars.
Thanks! I absolutely know how you feel. I specifically checked to make sure the date was earlier than 1800 and when I saw 1799 I grabbed it. xD
Very nice pick up! Glad you're happy with the coin. I would be. F-12 is not a low condition by the way.
Well I just mean that on a scale of 1-70 it’s pretty low. But then when you factor in how old the coin is it makes sense why it’s not still in MS or AU condition xD
WOW Blake that is a beautiful coin! It's got the perfect patina too. I hope to get one of my own in the coming year, glad to see you got yourself a nice 1700's US type coin.
Very nice pick up, Blake! I think any one of us on this forum would be proud to have that coin! One of those (pre-1800's big silver) is on my want list as well.
Thanks man! I’ve always wanted a pre-1800 American Silver/Gold coin myself and this felt like the perfect time to get one. I don’t think there are many 1799 Draped Bust Dollars left. According to NGC they’ve only graded a total of 1500 of all grades. Also I think I got a really good price for it since I got a cash discount.
Congrats !! Now you have incentive to work hard and save some $$$ and get one in AU or MS condition !
LOL!! Yeah right! XD I think I’ll stick with this one since I could never justify spending like $40,000 on an AU one. Let alone an MS one!
$40,000 ??? Didn't know that coin cost that much as you moved up in grade. Well...work hard, save and invest....and then pray for MegaMillions.
Circulated Cameo. @lordmarcovan has posted some nice examples before. I don't have any US coins but here is an ancient example:
