Description
1795 B-15, BB-52 Silver Dollar, MS61
Centered Draped Bust
1795 $1 Draped Bust, Centered, B-15, BB-52, R.2, MS61 NGC.
Bowers Die State V, or possibly later. The two 1795 Draped Bust
silver dollar varieties are identified as the "Uncentered Bust" and
the "Centered Bust," the latter offered here. This early dollar was
conservatively graded "AU/MS 55/60" in our 1986 offering when
Julian Leidman purchased the coin for the Yolanda Collection. Dr.
Stark commented:"At $7700, it was near my record coin expense at the time. While I had allotted a sum to Julian Leidman for the sale, I anticipated that it might buy perhaps two or three coins (however, in fairness, I made no such stipulation, relying on his fine judgment). A few days later I saw Jules [Reiver] and (wife) Iona at a local show. Apparently, Jules had talked to Julian beforehand as he came toward me and before I could tell him of the purchase he said something to the effect that I shouldn't worry, I would get my money back. Jules knew it was a large sum for either of us for a single coin at the time."
This lovely Mint State piece has sharp design elements and full luster with light gold, pale blue, and delicate lavender toning. Light adjustment marks are noted on the reverse, crossing the eagle and lower design elements. Census for all 1795 Draped Bust varieties: 4 in 61, 28 finer (11/23).
