Lot Description

1797 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-71, B-3. Rarity-2. Stars 10x6. EF-40 (NGC). An untoned example apart from the lightest golden-pink highlights around the obverse periphery. Appreciable satin luster remnants and generally bold definition to the devices confirm this as a solidly graded EF. 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. BB Die State III. PCGS# 6865. Click here for certification details from NGC.
