Save $5,000 OFF the Collector’s Universe Price!
The 1797 Draped Bust Silver Dollar stands as a cornerstone of American numismatics, minted just a decade after the U.S. Mint's founding. Designed by Robert Scot, it features Liberty draped in flowing classical garb on the obverse. The reverse depicts a small eagle perched on clouds within a wreath.
This specific example, graded PCGS XF-40, showcases the BB-72 die variety with its distinctive 9x7 star arrangement and small letters on the reverse, including a notably compact "AMERICA." The Extremely Fine condition reveals sharp details such as Liberty's curls and eagle's feathers, with moderate wear. The total mintage of this issue was a mere 7,776.
Rarity elevates the BB-72 to collector's gold; PCGS has graded only 21 examples of this variety. Of those, there are 2 in XF40 with a mere 3 finer. Collector’s Universe prices this variety at $42,500 in XF40. Thus, you will save $5,000 off the CU price when you buy this coin! For enthusiasts, it’s more than silver—it’s a tangible link to 18th-century America, blending history, artistry, and investment potential in one dramatic relic.
