1797 B-3, BB-71 Draped Bust 10X6 Stars Rarity 2. PCGS graded AU-58. A superb strike. This piece exhibits all the desirable qualities of an early dollar. Magnificent multi-dimensional toning is evident on both sides displaying shades of blue-green, russet, a splash of magenta, and golden hues. The adjustment marks across Liberty's portrait are not distracting in the least bit. Truly a marvelous example. The current holder states that this is a 9X7 Star variety which is incorrect. Pop 2; none finer at PCGS for the variety (PCGS # 6865) .
Estimated Value $30,000-UP.
