Description
Important 1796 B-2, BB-63 Dollar, AU Details
1796 $1 Small Date, Small Letters--Improperly Cleaned--NCS. AU Details. B-2, BB-63, R.4. Die State I. The existing obverse and reverse details are well formed and complete, meaning that this die remained in its original state when the Queller specimen was struck. Although Dave Bowers records a second die state in his Silver Dollar Encyclopedia, he writes that Die State II may not actually exist for this die combination.Although probably cleaned and recolored long ago, this remarkable piece has exceptional surfaces beneath its olive and steel toning. It is boldly struck and remarkably well-centered, with complete obverse and reverse borders. It appears to rank among the top half dozen known examples of the die marriage. This coin was described in the following Stack's sale as:
"1796 B.2. Small date, small letters. Extremely Fine and a superb specimen. Pale russet-gray toning. Sharply struck, with the slightest wear on the bust and leg of the eagle. The obverse is really exceptional."
Ex: Stack's ( 3/1983), lot 926.
