What This Coin Looks Like (Obverse, Reverse, Mint Mark Location, Special Features, etc.):
There were a few major varieties of the 1803 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. Two varieties deal with the sizing and styling of the number "3" in the 1803 date. Each has a different style "3" but one variety has a larger digit while the other has a smaller digit. The large 3 also has a vertical serif on the top-left portion of the "3" while the small 3 doesn't have this. The difference between the 1803 Small 3 vs Large 3 draped bust dollar varieties is depicted above in the example comparison image.
Another major variety is the incredibly rare and valuable 1803 Proof Restrike dollar. Only 4 of these are known to exist!
