- Sharp Choice AU 1797 Dollar Stars 9x7, Large Letters 1797 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-73, B-1. Rarity-3. Stars 9x7, Large Letters. AU-55 (PCGS). This lovely example retains overall sharp striking detail from an expertly centered, well executed strike. Most design elements are fully detailed, in fact, allowing one to really appreciate the beauty of this classic U.S. Mint design type. Brilliant apart from blushes of reddish-russet and cobalt blue in isolated peripheral areas, the surfaces are lustrous, satiny and uncommonly smooth for the assigned grade. BB Die State I. Bowers-Borckardt 73 is the sole die marriage associated with the Stars 9x7, Large Letters Guide Book variety of the 1797 silver dollar, and it is the median scarcity among the three known die pairings of the issue. Plentiful in an absolute sense, at least by early dollar standards, Q. David Bowers (2013) estimates that 1,300 to 2,100 BB-73 dollars are extant in all grades. Most grade no finer than VF, however, although the persistent collector should have little difficulty locating a pleasing EF. At and above the AU level the conditionally challenging nature of this die variety comes readily to the fore, the present example among the finest available to today's quality conscious numismatists.
