Miss Attributed "BB-64" R-8 Early Dollar Attempts to Cross the Auction Block Again
When you see an R-8 Bust Dollar
on E-Bay offered at "type coin money" you need to take a closer look.
For at least the second time, a 1796 NGC XF40 "BB-64" is being offered
on E-Bay. The BB-64 is an R-8 marriage per the W.D. Perkins census
published in the Feb-2011 edition of the John Reich Journal. Comparing
the reverse of the E-Bay offered coin with the Bowers-Borckardt standard
reference for Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States, 1993 indicates the offered coin is actually a BB-61 designated R-3 by Perkins.
For those who elect to compare the photo images on E-Bay with the
BB reference, I suggest you focus on the berry positions on the reverse
left of the coin. The mismatch with BB-64 and match with BB-61 is
immediately apparent.
As the saying going on the internet, "Buyer Beware." See E-Bay Lot: 271083272540
