Minted for just two years, the Draped Bust, Small Eagle Half Dollar is the scarcest and most sought-after silver issue in the entire series of United States coinage. The combined mintage for both 1796 and 1797 totals a mere 3,918 pieces and only a few hundred survivors are believed to exist. There are two varieties for 1796, one with 15 stars and another with 16 stars. The 15 star obverse (O-101) was prepared before Tennessee's admission into the Union as the 16th state on June 1, 1796. Those with 16 stars were struck after the admission of the Volunteer State. This less-than-perfect example has been smoothed on both sides, most likely to remove heavy scratches or graffiti. The interiors are a dullish silver-gray while golden-russet and gunmetal toning still clings to portions of the stars and lettering.<BR><I>From The Dr. Douglas Roane Collection.</B></I> </FONT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR><A name=PricesRealized></A><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" bgColor=#000000 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width="100%"><TABLE cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=3 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD width="100%" bgColor=#79735c><A name=PR><FONT face=arial color=#ffffff size=3><B>Previous Prices from Heritage Auctions</B> </FONT></A></TD></TR><TR><TD bgColor=#f6f6ed><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=1><TBODY><TR><TD align=middle width="33%"><B>Date</B></TD><TD align=middle width="33%"><B>Service</B></TD><TD align=middle width="33%"><B>Price</B></TD></TR><TR bgColor=whitesmoke><TD width="33%"><B>02/23/2002</B></TD><TD width="33%">PCGS</TD><TD width="33%">$20,700.00</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR><TR><TD bgColor=#ffffff><FONT face=arial size=1 ?>PLEASE NOTE: All prices realized reflect the final hammer price PLUS the buyer's premium in auctions that charge a buyer's premium.

On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
