$1 1801 PCGS AU55

We have not handled an AU55 1801 $1 in over 10+ years! In fact, our fav grade (AU58) the last one of those we handled was back in 2005. Its so hard to find decent Bust coins.

This coin has a tremendous luster-which is something 1801’s are not famous for. Possibly it was dipped long ago -but has come back super nice (its hard to tell, but we want to be safe). The possible dipping has NOTHING to do with the luster. Dipping is NOT a negative-and many Bust coins have been dipped. Its harsher cleaning or over dipping that becomes problematic. The surfaces have just a few lines and tiny ticks. Miss Liberty and the details are well struck and do stand out. This coin DOES have tremendous eye appeal. Take our word on this, CAC is NOT going to sticker a junky Bust Dollar-they LOVE Bust Dollars and are major buyers of them.

PCGS 9, NGC 16, CAC 1. This is a VERY difficult date to find in GEM AU and higher. PCGS has graded only 22 coins higher. Again, this is a really nice 1801!

The last one of these to appear in major public auction sold for $14,950.00 02/09 Goldberg. A so/so coin sold for $12,075.00 Heritage 1/09. In 2008, one sold for $18,400.00 Heritage 10/08. if you have been looking for a really nice 1801, we suggest you check this coin out in person!
