1796 $1 Small Date, Small Letters, B-1, BB-66, R.4, XF45
NGC. Bowers Die State II, the only observed state. The reverse
die shows evidence of lapping. An earlier described die state has
the notation that it may not exist. Possibly as many as 200
examples survive from these dies (Bowers states 200 to 350), and
nearly all are in lower circulated grades from Fine to XF. Just
five or six finer AU examples are recorded, and the BB-66 dollar is
apparently unknown in Mint State. This Choice XF is highly
attractive with splashes of pale blue and gold toning on its medium
gray surfaces. Dr. Stark notes about this coin: "This is one of the
handsomest Small Eagle, Small Letters reverse early dollars I can
recall. It is pleasantly toned with original unblemished surfaces
and is nicely struck."Ex: An unidentified visitor to the 2006 Denver ANA Convention; Julian Leidman (8/2006).
