1795 Draped Bust Dollar, AU50
Centered Bust, B-15, BB-52
Smooth Surfaces, Green Label Holder

1795 $1 Draped Bust, Centered, B-15, BB-52, R.2, AU50 PCGS. Bowers Die State IV. The two first-year Draped Bust dollar varieties, BB-51 and BB-52, do not share dies, but specialists believe BB-51 was struck first. That is because the bust punch for BB-51 was entered off center, and the diesinker presumably learned from the experience before properly centering the bust punch on BB-52. The first-year Draped Bust dollar is typically encountered in VF or lower grades. AU examples, such as the present lot, are very scarce and desirable. This representative shows light wear on the eagle's breast and belly, but luster accompanies the design elements, and the surfaces are virtually devoid of abrasions. Lightly toned wheat-gold and steel-blue with moderately deeper shades near 9 o'clock on the reverse. Housed in a green label holder.
