Description

1796 $1 Small Date, Large Letters, B-4, BB-61, R.3, XF40 PCGS. Bowers Die State I. BB-61 is the only collectible Large Letters 1796 die marriage. Fortunately, the Guide Book variety is available, though scarcer than its Small Letters counterpart. The typical example has VF details with problems, but this is an unblemished stone-gray representative that shows glimmers of luster within the curls, wreath, and wings. Sharper than anticipated for the XF40 level, since some breast feathers are present and Liberty's hair is nicely defined.
