1797 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-71, B-3. Rarity-2. 10x6 Stars. VF Details--Cleaned (PCGS).A pleasantly smooth example of this variety, painted in a marbled bronze patina across each side. The devices are nicely pronounced, showing the typical weakness at the obverse center, but remaining otherwise bold. 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.
