1795 Draped Bust S$1 Center Bust PCGS AU55
BB-52. Draped Bust similar to BB-51, the only other 1795 draped bust variety, but the bust is well-centered in the die. The highest wave of the hair is under the E of Liberty. The obverse often shows a crack, which increased in size as the die was used, at the center. Lowest curl is close to 1 in 1795. Star 1 does not touch curl. This obverse die used to strike 1795 BB-52 only. The population of 1795 BB-52 is, perhaps, about 2/3 that of BB-51, but this means that enough exist that just about any motivated collector can easily acquire one. As is the case with BB-51, most specimens of BB-52 are in the range from about VF20 to VF35. Lower grade coins are seldom seen, and pieces in EF40 or better grade are rare as well, with this an attractive and lustrous AU55 specimen for the connoisseur of early U.S. silver coinage.
