Lot Description

1795 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-52, B-15. Rarity-2. Centered Bust. VF-25 (PCGS). Pleasing silver-gray and light pewter patina blankets both sides of this predominantly smooth mid grade early dollar. Well centered in strike with uniformly denticulated borders, the major design elements retain plenty of bold detail in the recessed areas. Accuracy alone compels us to mention a shallow scuff in the right obverse field, and there are no other notable marks on either side. A desirable coin to represent the perennially popular first year issue in the Draped Bust silver dollar series. Scarce Small Eagle design type! BB Die State III, apparently rare since Q. David Bowers (2013) states, "I have seen just one coin of this die state, an EF-40." PCGS# 6858. NGC ID: 24X2. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
