Expert Comments
Ron Guth
The 1798 B-32, BB-91 Silver Dollar is a rare variety. Most examples are well-circulated. On average, a B-32, BB-91 will appear on the market about once every two years. Included among those are a couple of Very Fine examples. The finest example is believed to be the PCGS MS61 example from the Cardinal and Dr. Hesselgesser collections.
