1800 B-11, BB-191 Wide Date Low 8 AMERICAI Rarity 5. PCGS graded AU-50 PQ. CAC Approved. Subset of PCGS # 86888. In a new secure plus holder. Condition Census. Another lustrous golden gray exa mple which has grand overall eye appeal. The above-average strike complements this eye-appeal and, some might say, adds immeasurably to the appearance. Suitable for the finest Type set due to the careful consideration the consignor gave to its acquisition.

1800 BB-191 dollars survive to the extent of an estimated 31 to 75 coins, ranking it among the scarcer issues of a year with many elusive varieties. The desirability of BB-191 is greatly increased by the AMERICAI feature on the reverse, a stray mark from a punch that is in the right position to make it appear (with some imagination) as the letter I, hence AMERICAI. Pop 1; 1 finer in 58 for the variety .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
