    Mike's World of Coins proudly offers for sale this 1798 Draped Bust Large Eagle Silver Dollar B-27, BB-113 Pointed 9, 4 Lines with attribution on the holder.  The PCGS price guide for this coin in AU 55 is 12K.
    This coin has been freshly graded and just returned from PCGS this past week.  Of course I was somewhat disappointed because I thought it had a shot of a straight grade.  I knew this coin had likely had a light wipe in parts of the coin, but after inspecting so many early dollars I see that a light cleaning is so common and yet many of these coins do get a numerical grade.  Well I had 2 temptations.  One was to re-send it for review and the other is to simply keep it in my own cabinet of coins, because frankly it may be a long time before I get to handle an investment grade early silver dollar like this one, and I personally think this is a great coin, and people who know me know I pick exceptional coins.
    This coin is simply beautiful with a deep strike on both sides particularly the obverse where Liberty's hair is fantastically detailed.  The area near the date and the stars on the obverse has some original mint bloom seen despite some original lighter toning.  The reverse has tons of original mint luster in the wings, the clouds above the stars, and beneath the olive branch. Whatever cleaning this coin had it is not obvious and it was not harsh.
    Let me just say this is a winner and I believe will be satisfactory to even the fussiest collector.  So more than Half off due to AU details grade.  Ship registered mail insured.
