You are asking what I paid for it.

Oh well, it was worth about $1,000. If it had made AU, it would have been another $2 or $3 hundred more. I think that the Gray Sheet price was somthing like $850 so I was paying the old fellow a fair price.

The 1799 Bust Dollar is the most common date in the series. The only silver coins the mint made that year was silver dollars. The Red Book reports a mintage of 423,515.

I maxed the grade out at only 53.

That's a beautiful coin with tons of history behind it.
