Value of 1795 BB-52 Draped Bust Silver $1 Coin

This Dollar has the catalog numbers: Bowers Borckardt-52, Bolender-15, or Haseltine-15

Obverse: Draped Bust similar to last, 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 at the center, which increased in size as the die was used. Lowest curl is close to 1 in 1795. Star 1 does not touch curl.
Reverse: Similar to BB-51, but with only six berries in the olive branch. Leaf under A of STATES; a quick way to identify this reverse. Small letters. The finishing details of the higher areas of the clouds are quite different from those seen on BB-51, and on the present die are more boldly delineated.
Total Estimated Population: 1,000 to 1,600
