NGC. Bowers Die State III with both dies showing evidence of
lapping. This lovely example, graded EF-AU half a century ago, has
traces of luster remaining on its light gray surfaces. Light gold
toning is evident on each side. The cataloger in 1973 wrote that
this coin "will be a prized possession for years to come." Perhaps
another 50 years will pass before this lovely coin appears for sale
again. Dr. Stark purchased this coin from the November 1973 Bowers
and Ruddy auction of the Matt Rothert Collection that was his first
auction experience. He writes: "I purchased three coins in the
sale: all small eagle reverses. Two of them were 1797 B-3's-this
coin and the next. Being inexperienced, I somehow thought that by
bidding on both I improved my chances of winning one of them. It
was a surprise to learn that I had won both."Ex: Matt Rothert Collection (Bowers and Ruddy, 11/1973), lot 929.
From Professor Robert M. Stark's Yolanda Collection.
