Lot Description

1797 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-71, B-3. Rarity-2. Stars 10x6. VF-25 (PCGS). Bright silver-gray surfaces with enhancing blushes of golden-apricot and powder blue evident as the coin dips into a light. The detail softens somewhat at the borders, but all major design elements are well outlined and fully appreciable. As one of the two relatively obtainable die marriages of the 1797 silver dollar, BB-71 is a favorite among type collectors seeking an example of the brief and challenging Draped Bust, Small Eagle design. It is also the only die pairing of the issue that corresponds to the Stars 10x6 Guide Booklisting. BB Die State III. PCGS# 6865. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
