1797 $1 Draped Bust Dollar 10x6 Stars, B-3 (BB-71), PCGS VG10 – Philadelphia Mint A classic of early American silver, this 1797 Draped Bust Dollar presents the desirable 10x6 Stars obverse and the Small Eagle reverse, struck at the Philadelphia Mint during the nation’s formative years. Certified PCGS VG10, it offers pleasing, honest wear with fully legible legends, a bold date, and clear 10-left/6-right star arrangement—hallmarks collectors seek in an early Federal dollar with true historical presence. The 10x6 Stars layout reflects the 16-state Union following Tennessee’s admission in 1796, a short-lived design choice soon superseded by the standardized 13-star motif.
