Lot 1636
1796 Draped Bust Dollar. Large date, small letters. PCGS graded AU-50. Nice toned. Adjustment marks across Liberty's hair and face. The toning is medium gray with accents of russet brown, so called "antique silver" at its finest. The draped bust, small eagle dollars are the scarcest of the early Bust coins. This has a large date and small letters. The "large" size of the date is not immediately obvious on this variety, but upon study, the digits are indeed slightly larger, and are in the numeral size used the following year, 1797. The 6 in date plainly shows it was double punched; this is visible at the underside of the top of the 6 and the upper inside of the bottom loop. Pop 4; 15 finer. (PCGS # 6861) .
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
