From Superior Galleries' "Pre-Long Beach Sale", June 5-7, 2000, Lot 1580, where it was described as follows:
"1796 Draped Bust Small Eagle Small Date Small Letters Bolender-2 NGC XF45. A scarcer variety with this date and letter-size combination. The coin is nicely centered on a problem-free planchet, the toning varies from light brownish silver to deeper gray (at the letters and around the stars). Carefully preserved, "fresh" and original, it will undoubtedly draw much attention and, we feel certain, will command a strong premium over that of a commoner variety. Mintage in 1796: 72,920."
Price Realized = $4,025.00
