Description
1796 B-5, BB-65 Dollar, XF45
Large Date, Small Letters
1796 $1 Large Date, Small Letters, B-5, BB-65, R.2, XF45 NGC.
CAC. Bowers Die State II, with a prominent die lump on the top
right of the I in AMERICA, touching neither the dentils above, or
the adjacent C. This is the usual die state for the B-5, BB-65
dollar. Although a number of higher grade pieces are known, it is
hard to imagine any Choice XF examples that have better eye appeal
than this beautiful piece. Quite simply, this is what an early
silver dollar is supposed to look like. Both sides have an
attractive blend of gold, steel, and blue toning, with traces of
orange around many of the devices on the obverse. Scattered,
grade-consistent marks are inconsequential. The strike is bold and
nicely centered with prominent border dentils filling the obverse
and reverse circumference. In 1990, the cataloger for Superior
wrote: "Be prepared to pay a premium for this one, it is well worth
it." Now, three decades later, that statement remains
appropriate.Ex: Thomas Chalkley Collection (Superior Galleries, 1/1990), lot 2834.
