1797 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-73, B-1. Rarity-3. Stars 9x7, Large Letters. VF-25 (PCGS).A handsome and fully original piece, both sides are richly toned with the most vivid and varied colors ringing the peripheries. Overall boldly defined with smooth surfaces in hand, there is much to recommend this coin to both circulated type collectors and early dollar variety enthusiasts. Vying with BB-71 as the most frequently encountered die marriage of the date, the 1797 BB-73 dollar has an extant population of 1,300 to 2,100 coins in all grades (per Q. David Bowers, 2013). Most survivors are concentrated at the VF grade level, as here. BB Die State II.
