1796 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-61, B-4. Rarity-3. Small Date, Large Letters. VF Details--Cleaned (PCGS). This well struck, nicely centered example retains plenty of bold striking detail throughout the design. The more protected areas of Libertys hair and the eagles plumage are quite sharp, and there are few sizable marks. Faint hairlining explains the PCGS qualifier but, with pleasant retoning in pearl gray, antique gold and olive-russet, this is quite an attractive coin for the assigned grade. A find for the budget minded type collector seeking an example of the brief and challenging Draped Bust, Small Eagle dollar of 1795 to 1798. It is sure to sell for a respectable bid. BB Die State I.
