Lot 1511
1797 Draped Bust Dollar. 10 stars left, 6 right. PCGS graded VF-25. Soft, weathered gray surfaces that have been spared any distracting scratches or marks. In contrast to the surfaces, both devices are a lighter silver color due to even wear from circulation. On the reverse there is an old, dull scratch from the border left of ST of STATES and continuing to the left side of the eagle's neck. Light iridescent tones have settled onto both the obverse and reverse fields. For a Very Fine specimen, the wear is even and the condition of the surfaces is above average. A plentiful amount of feather detail still exists. Of the three major varieties known to exist for the 1797 silver dollar, the 10X6 stars is the second scarcest and trails the 1797 9X7 Stars Small Letters in overall and condition rarity.
Please note that the present coin is incorrectly housed in a 9X7 Large Letters PCGS holder. (PCGS # 6863) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000.
