Description
Wonderful 1797 10x6 Stars Dollar
B-3, BB-71, AU58
1797 $1 10x6 Stars, Large Letters AU58 PCGS. B-3, BB-71,
R.2. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III, with both obverse and reverse
lapped, as usually seen. The lone 1797 obverse die with the stars
arranged 10 and 6 instead of 9 and 7, paired with a Large Letters
reverse die. In his Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the
United States, Bowers notes that a number of auctions prior to
the early 1990s called examples of the BB-71 "Uncirculated," though
today PCGS recognizes just four Mint State survivors (4/09). It
does not seem unreasonable that this near-Mint piece, immensely
lustrous with only light rub on the reverse high points, might have
been called Uncirculated in the past. Peach, gold, and dusky
silver-blue shadings embrace each side.(Registry values: P4)Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 6865, GSID# 7154)
