1796 Large Letters Dollar, AU53
Small Date, B-4, BB-61

1796 $1 Small Date, Large Letters, B-4, BB-61, R.3, AU53 PCGS. Bowers Die State III. Lapped on both sides, most apparent on the forehead curls and star 15. BB-61 is the sole collectible 1796 silver dollar variety with a Large Letters reverse. BB-64 is the other Large Letters die variety, but just three or four pieces or known. The present BB-61 dollar is a better-grade example that shows considerable plumage definition on the eagle's breast. Dusky mauve and golden-brown toning embraces smooth and attractive surfaces. The eagle's right (facing) wing displays iridescent lime-green and peach-gold shades. Certified in an old green-label holder.
Ex: Anaheim ANA (Stack's Bowers, 8/2016), lot 3156.
