3253: 1795 $1 Draped Bust, Off-Center, B-14, BB-51, R.2
1795 $1 Draped Bust, Off-Center, B-14, BB-51, R.2, AU55 NGC. In late 1795, the introductory Flowing Hair design was replaced on the silver dollar with the Draped Bust motif, engraved by Robert Scot based upon a painting by Gilbert Stuart of leading Philadelphia socialite Ann Willing Bingham. The Draped Bust reigned on silver coinage until 1807, when it was replaced by John Reich's Capped Bust design. The 1795 B-14 dollar is believed to be the first Draped Bust die pair, though it is possible that B-15 preceded it. The present lot is a desirable example that shows only slight wear on the eagle's belly and front leg. The steel-gray surfaces display hints of tan-gold toning, and are impressively free from consequential contact. Luster fills the wings, curls, wreath, and legends.
