Impressive 1796 B-1 Silver Dollar, AU53
1796 $1 Small Date, Small Letters AU53 NGC. B-1, BB-66, R.4. Die State II. It is believed that 200-350 1796 B-1 silver dollars are extant, the majority of which grade no finer than VF. A challenging variety to locate in AU, Bowers (1993) states that no Mint State coins have been reported. This is a lovely, original example with soft, dove-gray patina and some lilac tinged undertones that are evident at certain angles. There are remarkably few distractions for a circulated early dollar, with a small planchet flaw (as struck) in the obverse field before the date. Well detailed within fully brought up borders.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24X3, PCGS# 6859, GSID# 7150)
