Description
AU 1795 Off Center Draped Bust
1795 $1 Draped Bust, Off Center AU50 PCGS. B-14, BB-51, R.2. Bolender-14 is likely the first use of the Draped Bust design on U.S. coinage. Although one other 1795-dated Draped Bust variety exists, B-15, the device punch is centered on this latter die pairing. Presumably, the die maker learned from the error of the off center positioning of the bust punch on B-14. The present piece is an impressive example of the Off Center Bust. The eagle's breast and right (facing) leg shows only slight wear, and luster glimmers from the wings, wreath, stars, hair, and legends. Orange and sky-blue toning graces generally unmarked surfaces. Adjustment marks are only encountered on the obverse border, and are completely inoffensive. Encapsulated in a green label holder.From The Tide Collection.(Registry values: P3)
