- Second BB-61 Dollar in NGC AU-53 1796 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-61, B-4. Rarity-2. Small Date, Large Letters. AU-53 (NGC). This pretty example is brightly lustrous with much of the original frosty mint finish still readily evident under a light. Faint hairlines and a bit of muting to the surfaces betray ancient and light numismatic handling, but there are no sizable marks to distract the eye. Both sides have toned nicely in a blend of iridescent sandy-rose, steel-blue, russet and champagne-pink. Detail is sharp enough to suggest a Choice AU grade, and certainly sharp enough to allow full appreciation of this classic U.S. Mint design. An attractive coin for high quality type purposes. Adjustment marks (as made) on the eagle's breast are light and not readily seen during in hand viewing. BB Die State IIa. Provenance: From the Legacy Collection. Earlier from Heritage's New York Signature Auction of February 2014, lot 5181. PCGS# 6860. NGC ID: 24X3. Click here for certification details from NGC.
