Description

1795 B-3, BB-11 Silver Dollar, VF20
The Only 16 Berries Dollar
Possibly the First 1795 Variety

1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves, B-3, BB-11, R.5, VF20 ANACS. Bowers Die State I, exhibiting perfect dies. The Bowers-Borckardt numbers for early silver dollars are ordered in their apparent emission order based on a detailed study of die states and other factors. The authors determined that the BB-11 die pair was the first marriage used for 1795 silver dollars, although other observers may conclude differently. This is the only variety with 16 berries in the wreath, simplifying attribution. Slate patina drapes both sides, with slightly darker areas in the recesses. There are no consequential marks on either side, and the design is well-detailed and nicely centered. An attractive example of this scarce early dollar.
