Lot 3021
1796. Small date, large letters. BB-61; B-4 R3. NGC graded AU-50. Nice even silver and light hint of gold toning; a few small marks at the nick and throat but these are easily overlooked. Pop 3; 5 finer for the variety at NGC.
As is the case with the majority of the outstanding draped bust, small eagle coins offered in the sale, this has very attractive toning, similarly attractive surfaces and rims, and the right "look" to draw attention from every corner of the room. All too many of these early bust dollars have been cleaned or touched up, it is a treat for us to be able to present to bidders such a fresh selection of dates and die varieties. If only you could sit down with the coins in your library and hear them tell their story. We wonder which would be the most interesting! Few collectors are in a position to purchase more than one or two prime examples at one time, but hadn't you better get out there and place your bid before these are history?
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
