A landmark early United States silver dollar, this 1796 $1 Draped Bust Dollar represents one of the most admired one-year design types of the federal series. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint during the nation’s formative years, the Draped Bust Dollar captures the artistry and ambition of America’s first coinage era, making it a centerpiece-level acquisition for both dedicated specialists and history-minded collectors.
Certified PCGS MS 62 under Cert #55945558, this example is attributed as the desirable Small Date, Large Letters variety and is noted as the finest known for the variety.

Expect classic early-dollar eye appeal, often seen with soft silver-gray toning and warmer champagne-gold highlights along the devices and rims, enhancing depth and contrast without overpowering the surfaces.
