Description du lot

Lightly toned. Another attractively toned example of the desirable 1796 issue, one of the scarcer Type designs in U.S. silver dollars. Clean surfaces on both sides. There is a pleasing absence of both hairlines and marks in the surface, a decided plus for any early dollar. What's more, the rims are complete, with but one very small bruise on the reverse edge at 3 o'clock. For 1796, both large and small date varieties are known, in addition to large or small letters in the reverse legend. Pop 7; 19 finer.</B> <BR>Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500.
