1796 Silver Dollar AU55 NGC. BB-65 Premium Quality. Early dollar specialists know that real Choice About Uncirculated specimens of most early dollars are tough coins. This date and variety is even tougher. It is somewhat mystifying how accurate the "pops" are on this coin. PCGS claims 10 coins in this grade with 5 better. NGC on the other hand shows 3 coins with 3 better. In our opinion these are inflated numbers with the actual survivor rate much lower.

We base our conclusion on decades of specialization in this series as in addition to the absolute lack of availability over the years. Bowers states only 6-12 examples of this variety are known, thruout the About Uncirculated spectrum. That said, now take a close look at this specimen. When was the last time you saw any 1796 dollar with such wonderful eye appeal? In our opinion, this is the nicest specimen we've seen in years.
Lovely full bodied original color with superb underlying luster.
