755 | The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014 | $3,100.00 |
1795/1195 2 Leaves (B-1, BB-21) NGC F-15.
|
Brock Megran Collection. An underdigit "1" was incorrectly struck into place where "7" was intended, resulting in the unusual overdate for the bust dollar series, and BB-21 is a fairly common (R.2)... |
|
888 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013 | $4,600.00 |
1795 2 Leaves (B-1, BB-21, R.2). PCGS VF-20.
|
BB-21 in early die-states may show strong diagnostics, and this one clearly depicts a "1" erroneously placed beneath "7" in the date. When an early silver dollar has been completely left alone in its... |
|
617 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $2,600.00 |
1795 2 Leaves (B-5, BB-27). VF details/cleaned/questionable color.
|
Dull tan-grey patina helps to obscure rather glossy surfaces, but the reverse still implies a rather brilliant central area. A light touch of rim toning joins the peripheral areas and prevents the... |
|
767 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011 | $1,400.00 |
1795 2 Leaves (BB-21, B-1, R.2). NGC VG details/improperly cleaned.
|
Details actually seem closer to VG-10+, with central definition of Liberty's tresses starting to appear, along with partial definition of the scrawny eagle's wing feathers. NGC states "improperly... |
|
768 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011 | $1,200.00 |
1795 (B-2, R.1) 2 Leaves. VG details/obverse repaired.
|
The diagnostic diagonal "right of the inner point of star 4" is extremely faint for reasons that shall be discussed, but is still just barely visible enough to rapidly narrow down attribution,... |
|
565 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $6,500.00 |
1795 2 Leaves, "Head of '95" (B-1, BB-21, R.2). NGC VF-30.
|
It cannot and should not be denied that this 1795 B-1 lacks fully original surfaces, and while pursuit of coins that have never been cleaned is a commendable and lofty goal, the brutal truth is that... |
|
530 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010 | $6,100.00 |
1795 2 Leaves, Head of '95 (B-1, BB-21, R.2). NGC VF-30.
|
This 1795 B-1 flowing-hair dollar graded NGC VF-30 actually has details slightly superior to a PCGS VF-30 recently sold at auction, but it is unclear which would be considered the more original coin.... |
|
471 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $5,050.00 |
1795 2 Leaves (B-1, BB-21, R-2). VF/cleaned.
|
If not for a cleaning that has left this dollar glossy and lacking in original surface texture, it would be a fantastic piece. Details are bold and sharp and easily rise up to or beyond the VF-20... |
|
472 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $20,000.00 |
1795 2 Leaves (BB-21, B-1). NGC AU-55.
|
Consistent medium pearl-grey patina graces the surfaces, underpinned by the slightest indication of pewter-gold iridescence that flashes in and out of view depending on lighting angle. Minimal bland... |
|
824 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $1,700.00 |
1795 2 Leaves, "Hidden Star" variety (B-4, BB-14, R-3) . PCGS Genuine.
|
PCGS has coded the reason for grade-failure (to coin a new term) as "98", which indicates "other damage". With all due respect to their expertise, that is hardly a reasonable explanation since the... |
|
825 | The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009 | $5,600.00 |
1795 2 Leaves (B-1, BB-21, R-2). VF/cleaned.
|
If not for a cleaning that has left this dollar glossy and lacking in original surface texture, it would be a fantastic piece. Details are bold and sharp and easily rise up to or beyond the VF-20... |
|
706 | The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009 | $1,700.00 |
1795 2 Leaves (B-1, BB-21, R-1). ANACS F-12 details/cleaned.
|
The ANACS disclaimer of "cleaned" is true of the obverse, but unreported is glue residue on the reverse. It is likely that this bust dollar was glued to some sort of numismatic display that enticed... |
|
537 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $2,200.00 |
1795 2 Leaves (B-1, BB-21, R.2). VG, Cleaned.
|
Great difficulty was had by your cataloger in grading this coin, as it is obviously nicely circulated, but has been dipped, and yet still seems to retain a surprising level of mint luster at the... |
|
495 | The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006 | $3,700.00 |
1795 2 Leaves, B-2, BB-20, R-3. VF-25.
|
An example of one of the various varieties with the Head of '95 obverse and the 2 Leaves reverse. Its pewter-gray surfaces have a lavender aspect and are lavishly toned, or perhaps retoned. ... |

1795 2 Leaves, B-1, BB-21, R-2. AU-58.

1795 2 Leaves B-1, BB-21, R-2. NGC VF-30.

1795 B-4, BB-14, Rarity-3, 2 Leaves. F-12.
