<B>1796 $1 Large Date, Small Letters AU55 NGC.</B></I> B-5, BB-65, R.2. Die State IV. A rare die state of a supposedly "common" dollar, although we have seen precious few of this die marriage in Heritage sales in recent years. The right-side stars are crowded close together, and on the reverse there is a leaf under the A in STATES, and leaves touch the bottoms of N, T, and D in UNITED. The most obvious diagnostic, however, is the massive cud die break through IC, which in this late state has covered the upright of I at one point and touches the C. This is a rarer die state than either of the two previous die states including State II, that usually seen. This intriguing coin boasts pretty, consistent golden-gray patina on both sides. A nice coin, one that will entice the early dollar specialists.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Robert Scot<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
