1795. Draped Set Left B-14, BB-51 Rarity 2
.
NGC graded AU-55
. Lovely light golden toning. Pleasing original luster on exquisitely pre-
served surfaces, toned with a simple array of lighter to medium shade-lines across the obverse, more dabbled looking toning embraces the
reverse. The reverse shows a wider range of luster than the obverse, but the visual impact is superb on both sides. Fully struck on both sides,
as well, from centering dot to rims, just a tiny flat spot on the eagle's forward leg. A handsome, detailed, and nicely preserved 1795 Draped
Bust Small Eagle dollar. The rims, outstanding. Nothing in the form of contact marks that we feel need describing, unless perhaps one wants
to mention a microscopic tic on the eagle’s throat area. This beautifully toned specimen must rank among the most attractive AU55 1795
Draped Bust dollars on the market, a coin that would make any advanced collector deliriously happy.
Variety Notes: BB-51 represents the first variety of the new Draped Bust dollar designs coined during 1795. On the obverse, the portrait of
Liberty is somewhat off-center to the left, leaving her lowest curl distant from the first star. Star one is nearer to the second curl from the bot-
tom. The reverse displays a newly depicted eagle standing in the clouds, with an olive branch to its left and a palm branch on the right. This
same reverse die, bearing lettering in a small font, went on to be re-used for coinage through the year 1798!
