[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 24351150, member: 10461"][FONT=Georgia][SIZE=5][URL='https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/lots/view/3-11E4VG/1799-draped-bust-silver-dollar-bb-162-b-6-rarity-4-vf-30-ngc']Took some fight[/URL], but I prevailed. Had to have this one. It checks off the three main criteria I was after: (1) Straight-graded. (2) 1700s-dated. (3) CircCam contrast and nice eye appeal. This is now the most expensive coin I have owned in 46 years of collecting. It is also my first US silver from the 1700s. (I have owned several coppers.) I’ve owned at least a half-dozen clunker [I]cars[/I] that didn’t cost as much as this coin.
