1797 B-3, BB-71 Dollar, Lightly Toned AU50
10x6 Stars, Small Eagle, Large Letters
1797 $1 10x6 Stars, Large Letters, B-3, BB-71, R.2, AU50
NGC. Bowers Die State III. Scarce as a date and the only early
dollar with the 10x6 obverse star arrangement, the 1797 BB-71 is of
moderate availability even at the About Uncirculated level. In
general, the reported mintage of 1797 dollars is understated, since
die sequence study shows at least one variety (the BB-73) was
partially or wholly struck in 1798 and included with that year's
production. Still, all three 1797 varieties are challenging as
distinct types at the About Uncirculated level or finer -- as are
all Small Eagle dollars, regardless of date or variety.This is a lightly toned AU example with thin bands of olive-gold toning that run horizontally across both sides of the coin. Struck from lapped dies, a few of the stars are drawn to the edge of the finely textured fields. Some high point weakness combines with nominal wear, visible mostly at the peripheries. Substantial mint luster remains throughout both sides, which show only a few minor abrasions. Brief adjustment marks are noted at the upper-right and lower-left obverse margins. Census: 9 in 50, 23 finer (3/17).
