1795 $1 Draped Bust, Off-Center, B-14, BB-51, R.2 -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. XF. Bowers Die State II, lightly clashed. B-14 is regarded as the first Draped Bust die variety of any denomination, since it is presumed that experience gained from entering the bust off center allowed B-15 to have a properly centered bust. This well-defined and minimally abraded representative is impressively void of abrasions, though the reverse exergue retains minor adjustment marks, as coined. The powder-blue surfaces are faintly hairlined.
