Description

1797 B-2, BB-72 Silver Dollar, XF Details
9x7 Stars, Small Letters

1797 $1 9x7 Stars, Small Letters, B-2, BB-72, R.4 -- Cleaned -- NGC Details. XF. Bowers Die State I, as always. There was a time when this variety was considered an important rarity. However, today it is known as a scarce variety that is seen with less frequency than the other two die pairs for 1797. When examples of BB-72 are offered, they tend to be lower-grade coins. We doubt that more than two dozen examples grade better than VF from a population of 150 to 200 examples. This piece was cleaned long ago and has retoned in pale blue and gold on light gray surfaces. We know that Dr. Stark never cleaned any of his coins, so the process took place prior to his purchase nearly 40 years ago.
Ex: J.J. Teaparty (1985).
