1796 1 Dollar, Large Date; Small Letters. NGC XF45. B-5, B-65, R.3. CAC. An easily identifiable die paring as evidenced by the die lump near the I in AMERICA on the reverse. The offering of this dollar presents an infrequent opportunity for the connoisseur of early American coinage to add an undoubtedly original and undeniably attractive specimen. The obverse surfaces are richly colored with an infusion of silver-gray, gold, and purple patination. The reverse remains somewhat lighter, but with the same color pairing. As one would expect from the grade, the wear is fairly trivial and confined to the extreme highpoints, leaving significant amount of unmolested detail. Softness is noted along portions of the legends, especially in the ST in STATES on the reverse, but is not uncommon for the variety.
