1795. BB-21, B-1, Rarity 2. Sharpness of AU-55. Harshly cleaned long ago. Some faint adjustment marks on the obv. rim around 11 o'clock. A flashy well struck example with toning resting within the devices. Well detailed for this more difficult draped bust, small eagle Type, with strong highlights indicated by Liberty's full hair curls and drapery that add considerably to the appeal of this coin. On the reverse stands an eagle whose features are ideally impressive for the design: clear breast feathers and nice wings and feet, as well as a clear eye and beak. Only 42,378 pieces struck of this transitional design.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 11,000.
