<B>1797 $1 9x7 Stars, Small Letters XF45 NGC.</B></I> B-2, BB-72, R.4. Die State I. Just the one die state of B-2 is known, with the reverse die lapped after its previous use in 1796. Most numismatists believe that about 100 to 150 of these coins survive today, although at one time the B-2 dollar was considered a major rarity. Since the days of John Haseltine and his ground breaking reference on the early dollars, this variety has been known as an elusive marriage when compared to the other two 1797 varieties. At one time, estimates as low as 20 coins were published.<BR> The present example has splendid steel-blue and pale gold toning with lighter tan color on the devices. The fields, especially on the obverse, are somewhat reflective. Just outside the Condition Census, but still highly desirable.<BR><I>Ex: Stack's (1983).</B></I><BR><I>From The Queller Family Collection of Silver Dollars.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
