1796 Draped Bust $1 B-5 BB-65 Large date, small letters. NGC graded EF-45 Rarity 4. Lightly even toning. Highly attractive and largely wide dentils acting to frame the inner features, and displaying light to medium gray highlights over both sides. All but fully struck, which is very unusual in a 1796 Draped Bust, Small Eagle dollar, with just a little insubstantial touch of weakness at the eagle's breast and leg feathers. Rims are choice. The entire appearance is one of careful preservation. Note the die break at IC of AMERICA. This is a distinguishing feature of this reverse die which has small letters in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Pop 9; 6 finer; 1 in 50; 2 in 55; 1 in 58; 1 in 61; 1 in 63.
Estimated Value $9,500 - 10,000.
