I was pulling out an odd quarter for another thread and visited some "old friends" I haven't seen in awhile. I thought it would be fun to kind of 'show off' these old coins within their own dedicated thread.

Here's one of my favorites!

    I swear, I never noticed it really until you pointed it out. Probably kind of common with the minting process back then.

    I know it's got its problems, but I like it anyway.

    That's a good looking plug. I would have not noticed it if the slab and you would have not noted it.

    So, I am a bit stumped - in terms of a clock - where is the plug?

    Damn straight! That's a mighty fine looking dollar^
    Thanks for sharing.
    Regarding the plug on the above 1795? I cracked it from a no problem NGC slab for inclusion in a type set. A few years later I sent it into PCGS where it now resides in its problem slab. Still like it though although I obviously took a hit on price.

    The coin is cut because it was likely used as 3/4 of a dollar, like the old spanish reale system.

    Here's a rare 1796 B-6, BB-64 silver dollar, R-8 with three examples known to me, all in this late die state with the vertical die crack bisecting the right 1/3 of the reverse. It is the finest of the three known examples.

    This Specimen is ex. Emanuel Taylor Collection, and was purchased from Taylor in 1959 by dealer Art Kagin. It was offered for sale by Art and Paul Kagin in a 1959 Fixed Price List but it likely was never sold. John Whitney "Mr. 1796" purchased it at a B&M public auction in September 1995 (per my research).

    Stack's sold the Whitney Collection including this coin in May 1999:1249 where it was purchased by collector Warren Miller. This coin was sold privately in October 2015 and today resides in an advanced Northeast die variety collection.

    It is one of my favorite early dollars.

    @BillDugan1959

    The plug looks like it is a small one above the 9 in the date. You can see it on the reverse too above the eagle and between "states" and "of".

    Very many thanks for the pointers. I could kinda see the modest discoloration on the reverse, but couldn't match that to the obverse. Very many thanks.

    My current coin collecting interests are: (1) British coins 1838-1970 in XF-AU-UNC, (2) silver type coins in XF-AU with that classic medium gray coloration and exceptional eye appeal.

    Usually when you see a dollar display like Boiler's, it's in a PCGS calendar.
