We are excited to present this remarkable 1798 Draped Bust Silver Dollar, certified XF45 by NGC. As one of the most iconic early American silver coins, this piece represents a crucial period in U.S. numismatic and historical heritage.
The obverse showcases the timeless Draped Bust portrait of Liberty, designed by renowned artist Robert Scot. The reverse features a heraldic eagle inspired by the Great Seal of the United States, symbolizing strength and unity.
With its XF45 designation, this coin retains sharp details in Liberty's portrait and the eagle, along with significant remaining luster in protected areas. Moderate, honest wear adds to its historic character without detracting from its overall appeal.
Struck in the second year of the heraldic eagle reverse, the 1798 Draped Bust Dollar is a key collectible from the early U.S. Mint. As silver dollars were heavily circulated during this time, finding examples in such fine condition is a rare opportunity for collectors.
The 1798 Draped Bust Dollar reflects a young America expanding its economy and global influence. These large silver coins were vital for trade, both domestically and internationally, making them a cornerstone of early American coinage.
