Lot 1764
1795 Draped Bust Dollar. Off-center bust. PCGS graded AU-58. A magnificent coin for the grade that boasts a wonderful strike with full curls on Liberty and excellent breast feathers on the eagle. PCGS has only graded 9 this high, with a scattering of others in mint state, 22 in all. That's not many considering how many type collectors there are combined with the dollar collectors who need one! The surfaces are toned a rich golden gray, with glowing luster throughout with blue tones around the edges. We do note moderate hairlines, perhaps as much from circulation as past handling, but these are quite the norm. There is one jagged scratch through the back of Liberty's curls and into the field just above her ribbon, but it scarcely shows. Thought to have been the first of the draped bust varieties coined, with the new dies which employed the famous portrait of Anne Willing Bingham by Gilbert Stuart.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 15,000.
