1797 Draped Bust Dollar. 10 stars left, 6 right. . BB-71, B-3. NGC graded EF-45. Struck on a slightly grainy planchet. Lightly toned. A couple of minor on the rim as made. This is one of the more popular dates in the series due to its low Redbook-listed mintage of 7,776 pieces. However, the mint in those days was notoriously bad at record-keeping, so that modern die variety specialists have had to try to recreate more probable numbers. All the same, the draped bust, small eagle Type used in 1795-98 is by far the most desirable bust dollar variety in the period. This sharp specimen has a lock on its grade and will provide many pleasurable hours of study by the next owner. Pop 15; 18 finer. (PCGS # 6865) .
Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000.
