Description

1796 B-2, BB-63 Dollar, VF35
Small Date, Small Letters

1796 $1 Small Date, Small Letters, B-2, BB-63, R.4, VF35 PCGS. CAC. Bowers Die State I, apparently as always although a second die state is described but with the added notation "May not exist with 1796 BB-63." This important early silver dollar from the Dr. Hesselgesser Collection, and from the John Whitney Walter Collection, is an attractive example for the advanced collector. Although this piece falls in the typical grade range, it has well above average aesthetic appeal. Both sides have pleasing surfaces that show minimal surface marks. Attractive blue-steel toning is splashed on the obverse and reverse with light silver luster that exceeds the typical example at the VF35 grade level.
Ex: John Whitney Walter Collection; Dr. Hesselgesser Collection (Goldberg Auctions, 9/2011), lot 5025.
From Professor Robert M. Stark's Yolanda Collection.
