Lot 2874
1797 Draped Bust Dollar. 10 stars left, 6 right. PCGS graded EF-45. A well struck example with attractive light to mid-level old-silver hues on both sides showing the typical, equally attractive lighter rubbed-silver contrast on the high points of the design. This is the typical situation for nearly all uncleaned, untouched examples, which are becoming a rarity today. Nearly fully struck, as well, with just a hint of limitation in the detail at the stars and portions of the eagle. One or two slight rim bruises from long ago. Low mintage issue (although in recent years, die variety studies point to the actual total minted being somewhat higher than the official Mint figure of 7,776 pieces for 1797 (PCGS # 40004) .
Estimated Value $7,500 - 8,000.
