1795 B-4, BB-14 Dollar, AU53
From the Cardinal Collection

1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves, B-4, BB-14, R.4, AU53 PCGS. Ex: Cardinal Collection. Perfect dies as always, with tiny die chips near the border at stars 10 and 11. The distinctive obverse die has star 15 far below the top of the bust that is actually closer to star 14. This feature is diagnostic for the variety as no other obverse is similar, and this obverse was not used with other reverse dies. The varieties identified as BB-11 through BB-14 are recorded first in the emission sequence based on stylistic comparisons to the 1794 dollar, and the existence of a single example of the present variety that is struck over a 1794 dollar.

This splendid example has pleasing light gray surfaces with splashes of steel and iridescent toning behind Liberty's portrait. The reverse is pewter-gray with iridescent nuances. Trivial grade-consistent marks and lines are mostly visible on with magnification. While the holder identifies this piece as part of the Cardinal Collection, it was not included in the June 2005 sale of that collection.
From The Siegel Collection.
