The 1797 Draped Bust silver dollar, BB-71 (10x6 Stars), represents one of the more elusive issues in the early dollar series. With a total mintage of just 7,776 pieces across all varieties, any 1797 dollar is scarce, but the 10x6 Stars configuration stands apart for its notable rarity and distinctive obverse star arrangement.
Certified XF-40 by PCGS, this example sits within a limited population, with only 41 graded at this level and 102 finer. The BB-71 variety is especially challenging, as Ron Guth notes that the 10x6 Stars version is roughly twice as rare as the more commonly encountered 9x7 arrangement, adding an extra layer of desirability for specialists.
At the Extremely Fine level, the coin retains strong detail across Liberty’s portrait and the eagle, with moderate wear consistent with early circulation. Pieces like this bridge the gap between the heavily worn survivors and the few high-grade examples, offering both historical presence and meaningful scarcity within the early dollar series.
