Description
1795 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-51, B-14. Rarity-2. Off-Center Bust. EF-40 (NGC). CAC. OH.
A handsome and desirable example of this perennially popular variety in the Draped Bust, Small Eagle dollar series. Deeply toned in a blend of blue-gray, the surfaces reveal more vivid undertones of antique gold and apricot as the coin dips into a light. Sharply defined overall from a nicely centered and well executed strike. Bowers-Borckardt 51 is the (slightly more) obtainable die marriage of the 1795 Draped Bust dollar issue, and it corresponds to the Off-Center Bust Guide Book variety of the date. With most of the 1,400 to 2,000 coins believed extant (per Bowers, 2013) grading no higher than VF, this premium quality Extremely Fine survivor represents a significant find for the sharp-eyed bidder.
PCGS# 96858. NGC ID: 24X2.
Estimate: $8000
