United States 1799 dollar rev DSLR.jpg

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.

Specification: 26.96 g, .892 fine silver, .773 troy oz ASW, lettered edge.

Catalog reference: KM 32.
