1795 B-2, BB-20 Silver Dollar, XF45
The Usual Lapped Die State

1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves, B-2, BB-20, R.3, XF45 PCGS. Bowers Die State II, with the obverse lapped showing star 1 piercing the disconnected lowest curl. The obverse die appears on the unique BB-19 and on this BB-20 die marriage. The reverse die was used for BB-20, BB-21, and BB-24 and all three of those varieties are relatively plentiful, although BB-24 is scarcer than the others. While the BB-20 die marriage is rated R.3, indicating a total population of 300 to 500 coins, the present Choice XF example ranks among the top two or three dozen survivors. Examples of this variety are rarely encountered in AU or better grades. The Bowers-Borckardt estimated population above XF is 18 to 32 coins, and most of those are held in long-term collections. Splashes of blue toning appear on the antique gray surfaces with lighter silver in the central obverse. Scattered handling marks are consistent with the grade.
