Owner Comments:

Purchased at a local coin auction in December 1990, this was my first example of an early U.S. silver dollar. Although the auctioneer described the coin as "Extremely Fine", I realized that it was Very Fine and had been lightly polished. I still find it very attractive, and it cost me far less than a comparable specimen would today. It is an example of the "Very Wide Date, Low 8" "Redbook" variety, BB-190, B-10. The "Very Fine Details, Cleaned" grade given by NGC in November 2022 was as expected.

I took the photos before the coin was certified. I also took photos of its lettered and decorated edge. I posted all of these photos under the U.S., Foreign and Ancient Coins forum of the NGC Chat Board under the topic entitled, "1800 Draped Bust Silver Dollar: All Three Sides of the Coin".
