- Bold Choice EF 1795 Draped Bust Dollar Popular BB-51 Off-Center Bust Variety 1795 Draped Bust Silver Dollar. BB-51, B-14. Rarity-2. Off-Center Bust. EF-45 (PCGS). An attractive piece with well defined features and pleasing surfaces. It is richly toned in a blend of warm olive-copper and lighter silver-apricot shades, the obverse also has a few speckles of russet in and around the center. Both sides are well centered in strike, the obverse stars at right a bit softly defined, but otherwise only light high point rub that helps to define the grade. Faint hairlines are well concealed by the toning, and there are no sizable marks. Two 1795-dated obverse dies were paired with the Small Eagle reverse for the premier Draped Bust silver dollar issue. On the first obverse die Mint employees placed Liberty's bust too far to the left, creating the popular Off-Center Bust variety - the most frequently encountered die pairing among Draped Bust, Small Eagle dollars. To correct this imbalance, the second die of the 1795-dated issue centers the bust with Liberty's topmost hair curl directly under the letter E in LIBERTY. Provenance: From the Legacy Collection.
