Description

1797 B-2, BB-72 Dollar, VF20
Scarce 9x7 Stars, Small Letters

1797 $1 9x7 Stars, Small Letters, B-2, BB-72, R.4, VF20 PCGS. Ex: The Peh Family Collection. Bowers-Borckardt Die State I. Well-centered design elements and full, broad borders dominate a design with suitable remaining definition, save for the center of the reverse. Minimally marked for the grade with pleasing steel-gray patina. This reverse die is noteworthy for being mated with four different obverse dies, one each dated 1795, 1796, 1797, and 1798. While the rarity of this variety has been overstated in the past, it is still one of the scarcer 1797 die marriages of which perhaps 200-300 examples survive.
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/2005), lot 6594.
From The Peh Family Collection.
