1796. Small Date Large Letters B-4, BB-61 Rarity 3 NGC graded XF Details. Improperly cleaned. Light gray which has pleasing overall eye appeal despite minor cleaning. The above-average strike complements this and, some might say, adds nicely to the appearance. The Draped Bust, Small Eagle pieces are the most difficult to acquire. They were struck in the years 1795-98, with each year’s coinage showing fascinating and sometimes unusual characteristics from the hand-made dies. The dies which struck this used small-date numeral punches for the date with large letter punches for the reverse legend.
Estimated Value $2,900 - 3,100.
