Lot Description

1797 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-71, B-3. Rarity-2. Stars 10x6. EF-40 (NGC). A predominantly light pewter gray example with iridescent reddish-gold outlines to most of the design elements. Well centered in strike with plenty if sharp detail remaining to the major design elements. 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. We doubt that there are more than 700 examples of this variety in existence. BB Die State III. PCGS# 6865. NGC ID: 24X4. Click here for certification details from NGC.
