Lot 1804
1797 Draped Bust Dollar. 10 stars left, 6 right. PCGS graded VF-35. B-71; B-3. Some obverse adjustment. Nice even toning on the other hand and nothing garish to report in the way of problems. The 1797 issue with 10 stars on the left has the most pronounced softness in the design of this year, and it seems the mint was practically incapable of thrusting the dies together with enough force to impart all of the design onto the planchet. Yet just about every collector eventually wants this Type with the draped bust, small eagle. The photographs give it a good depiction, while PCGS hit the nail on the head with its VF35 grade (PCGS # 6865) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 5,000.
