1797 Draped Bust Dollar. 10 stars left, 6 right. NGC graded MS-61. Already impressive as a Mint State example of a 1797 Silver Dollar, this piece is even more exceptional because of the clear, triple striking evident on both sides. Everything -- denticles, leaves, feathers, letters, hair, stars -- shows triple details, each strike shifted just slightly from the preceding. Completely original, with deep lilac centers deepening to olive-purple near the peripheries. A stunning coin that is sure to excite the participants in the current, red-hot market for errors. The triple striking has created a depth of details rarely seen on any early U.S.silver dollar.
Estimated Value $25,000 - 30,000.
