Lot 1610
1795 Draped Bust Dollar. PCGS graded EF-40. Hint of light toning with deeper areas of old silver gray around the main devices. A thin hairline on the cheek, but generally better preserved than average for Extremely Fine specimens of this variety. Pop 22; 52 finer. (PCGS # 96858) .
There are only two varieties of 1795 Draped Bust silver dollars, BB-51 and BB-52. Both are readily available, and you will have little difficulty in acquiring a specimen of one or both in average condition like Fine or Very Fine. The 1795 BB-51, employing as it does the off-center Draped Bust on the obverse and the curious and long-1ived Small Letters die for the reverse, is certainly one of the most talked-about varieties in the early dollar series.
Estimated Value $7,000 - 8,000.
