***Auction Highlight*** 1796 BB-61, B-4 Draped Bust Dollar $1 Graded au53 By SEGS. HIGHLIGHT OF THE MONTH - Up for Auction is a superb 1796 Small Eagle Bust Dollar. Bowers Die State I. The 1796, BB-61 is rare in About Uncirculated or finer condition. The Bowers reference suggests no more than 30 pieces exist in any AU grade, and only about a dozen Mint State pieces are known. This example is remarkably well-defined with smooth, toned fields and nice mint luster that glows beneath the toning. Light hairlines are present, but unnoticeable without aid of a loupe. Bands of slate-blue alternate with areas of tan-gold patina on the obverse, while the blue overtones are less prevalent on the still-lustrous reverse. Slight wear on Liberty's temple and the eagle's breast indicate minimal circulation.One other variety exists with the Small Date, Large Letters configuration -- the BB-64 die marriage -- but that reverse die failed early and only two or three examples are confirmed, making the BB-61 the sole 1796 die pair to represent the type. Superb eye appeal. I wish you luck in obtaining this great piece of American history. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
