1797 O-101. 15 Stars. Rarity-5. Genuine – Plugged – Fine Details PCGS.

Smoky steel-gray throughout with softer silver-gray high points. Plugged in the area of RTY on the obverse and correspondingly at ICA on the reverse; a few old scratches come to light on the latter side under low magnification. A rare and important date that saw a mintage of just 3,918 pieces according to the Red Book, with that small figure divided between the two varieties of 1796 – 15 or 16 stars – and the 1797 date. The 1796 and 1797 rarities represent the only two years of the design type with the Draped Bust obverse and Small Eagle reverse. If you’re forming an early type set and you find the acquisition of 18th-century pieces particularly daunting, you might set your sights on this specimen. It is marginally nicer than the qualifier suggests – not pretty but not horrible either – and it certainly will take a little heat off your numismatic budget. You could do far worse than having this coin to represent the date or type.
