Lot Description

1795 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. B-15, BB-52. Rarity-2. Bowers Die State V. Centered Bust. MS-63 (PCGS). CAC. An exceptionally beautiful Draped Bust silver dollar by any and all standards. Satiny, frosty surfaces display intense cartwheel luster beneath a sheen of pale champagne. The strike is likewise bold and appealing, with just a tiny bit of weakness on the highest point of the eagle's sinister leg; its talons are completely separate from the clouds beneath, the surrounding wreath crisp and sharp. If you mean to add a world-class early dollar to your burgeoning collection, this may be the opportunity you seek. We seldom see early dollars of this quality, and even when other MS-63 specimens are offered, they seldom measure up to the beautiful coin presented here. We suggest you take a careful look and carefully calculate your bids.
