The following narrative, with minor editing, is from my "Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia" (Wolfeboro, NH: Bowers and Merena Galleries, Inc., 1993). Note: the Notable Specimens list should be used with caution - it has been updated in my 2013 edition of "The Encyclopedia of United States Silver Dollars 1794-1804"

Obverse die used to strike 1795 BB-11, BB-12, and BB-13.

REVERSE C: Two leaves under each wing. 17 berries, nine on left branch, eight on right. A berry is on outside of the wreath midway between S and T of STATES, the only variety in which this occurs; the arrangement is similar to that used on the 1794 dollar.

Reverse die used to strike 1795 BB-13 and BB-14.

DIE STATES:

Die State I: Perfect dies. Obverse without clash marks. The die state usually seen. Specimens are often seen with varying degrees of bifurcation on obverse and reverse, and somewhat indistinct denticles,

Die State II: Clash marks from the wings and the wreath are visible behind Liberty's head. Rare. Gilhousen (Superior, 1973): 1216, "almost VF," was described as from an "obverse die partly flattened and roughened by severe clash marks from reverse, parts of wings and wreath being very plain behind head."

Die State III: With "additional die cracks," as described in the 1945 catalogue of the F.C.C. Boyd Collection ("World's Greatest Collection").

AUCTION POPULATION SURVEY: Good: 1, Very Good: 6, Fine: 21, Very Fine: 13, Extremely Fine: 12, About Uncirculated: 1, Mint State-60 or better: 2 (considering Atwater coin, see below, as Mint State, per catalogue). Total: 56.

COLLECTING NOTES: I estimate that about 300 to 500 specimens exist of 1795 BB-13, a figure considerably more liberal than the Bolender suggestion of R-5 (31 to 75 coins, if he meant R-5 on the Sheldon Scale), or the 1881 Type-Table designation of "very rare."
