1797 Draped Bust Dollar. 10 stars left, 6 right. PCGS graded EF-40. Mostly untoned, a well struck, pleasing example with no rim problems. "1797 BB-71 is about tied with BB-73 in terms of availability. I estimate that 1,200 to 2,000 are known. If anything, BB-71 is very slightly scarcer than BB-73," explains the Bowers book on silver dollars. "As is the case with dollars of the two other varieties of this year, examples of 1797 BB-71 are usually seen in lower grades. However, several have been called Uncirculated over the years. Undoubtedly, most would not merit the grade by today's stricter interpretations of standards. However, any 1797 dollar that is a candidate for being in this grade is apt to be of the BB-71 variety." Pop 23. (PCGS # 6865) .
Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000.
