1795 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-51, B-14. Rarity-2. Off-Center Bust. EF-40 (PCGS). A handsome and desirable example of this perennially popular Draped Bust, Small Eagle silver dollar variety. Warmly toned in sandy-gray and deep olive, the surfaces reveal subtle undertones of pale gold. Sharply defined overall from a nicely centered and well executed strike, the series of light adjustment marks that interfere with the denticulation along the upper obverse border are as made.<p>Bowers-Borckardt 51 is the (slightly more) obtainable die marriage of the 1795 Draped Bust dollar issue, and it corresponds to the Off-Center Bust <em>Guide Book</em> variety of the date. With most of the 1,400 to 2,000 coins believed extant (per Bowers, 2013) grading no higher than VF, this premium quality Extremely Fine survivor represents a significant find for the sharp-eyed bidder. From the Pieper Collection.
