1796 $1 Small Date, Large Letters, B-4, BB-61, R.3 -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. VF. Bowers Die State I. BB-61 is the sole collectible Large Letters reverse for the 1796 date, with the BB-64 extremely rare (just three known specimens). A long-ago light cleaning is not particularly distracting on this example, since the silver-gray surfaces retain a golden hue and areas of light-tan toning. Small marks are visible with a glass, as well as a series of parallel field marks between Liberty's forehead and stars 10 to 12. A small rim bump is noted between stars 5 and 6.
