<B>1795 $1 Draped Bust, Off Center AU50 NGC.</B></I> B-14, BB-51, R.2. Bowers comments concerning this incredibly durable reverse die, "This reverse die is one of the most remarkable in all of American numismatics, and was mated with obverse dies bearing four different dates. The features are cut in shallow relief, and the rim is low. Thus, all impressions from the die appear somewhat flat, a situation particularly evident on coins in VF or lower grades. The shallow relief does not materially affect the appearance of higher grade coins, which often have exquisite detail, including a full complement of eagle feathers."<BR> The present piece is one of those fortunate survivors that is strongly detailed throughout, with bright surfaces covered with a medium layer of rich gray toning. A number of adjustment marks are seen at the center of the reverse. An outstanding Draped Bust 1795 dollar.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Robert Scot<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
