This type of silver dollar is not cheap but is the first that can be considered to be within the reach of ordinary collectors. The issues of 1794-98 are all very rare. For weight, diameter and fineness, the coin is a passable imitation of a Latin American portrait dollar (see Peru 1799 8 reales.) This date is known in many varieties; this specimen is one of the common.
Recorded mintage: 423,515.
