- Superior Choice EF 1796 BB-65 Dollar 1796 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-65, B-5. Rarity-3-. Large Date, Small Letters. EF-45 (PCGS). The soft lilac-gray central obverse yields to warmer pewter-gray around the periphery on that side, as well as throughout much of the reverse. There is some retained mint bloom in Liberty's hair tresses. Pleasing for the grade with no serious marks that pop out at the viewer. BB Die State VI, Salyards Die State k. The Bowers-Borckardt 65 attribution corresponds to the Large Date, Small Letters Guide Bookvariety of the 1796 dollar. After BB-61, this is the most frequently encountered die marriage of the issue in today's market, making it popular with type collectors seeking an example of the challenging Draped Bust, Small Eagle design. Most survivors are in lower grades, suggestive of widespread commercial use. This Choice EF is a find for the discerning collector. Provenance: From the Legacy Collection. Earlier from our Baltimore Auction of November 2011, lot 2562; Heritage's sale of the Friel Collection, January 2021 FUN Signature Auction, lot 4181. PCGS# 6861. NGC ID: 24X3.
