About This Coin
The year 1798 marked an important transition for Robert Scot’s Draped Bust dollar, introducing the bold Heraldic Eagle reverse adapted from the Great Seal of the United States. Struck during an era when federal silver was driven relentlessly through daily commerce, the BB-96 variety reflects the ambition and character of the early Philadelphia Mint.
Most early dollars that survived did so with serious apologies, bearing the marks of heavy circulation, harsh cleanings, or outright damage. At the VF-30 level, this piece offers the balanced wear and solid detail that early-silver specialists prize, retaining strong central definition and honest surfaces. CAC endorsement further affirms its quality and originality for the grade.
It is an authentic, thoroughly wholesome representative of America's first decade of dollar coinage—a dignified cornerstone for any early federal type set or specialist cabinet.
