Bust Dollar (1794 - 1804)
Authorized by the Congress on April 2, 1792, the Silver Dollar had to weight 416 grains and have
.8924 fineness. The first dollar was minted in 1794 - the Flowing Hair silver dollar. In 1795 it was replaced with the Draped Bust dollar, and
the 1794 silver dollar is a very rare coin. All Bust Silver Dollars minted from 1794 until 1804 had the value stamped on the edge: HUNDRED CENTS, ONE
DOLLAR OR UNIT. Just like the Bust half dollar, the Draped Bust displayed Liberty with flowing hair on the obverse, surrounded by 8 stars on the left and 7 stars
on the right, with the date at the bottom and LIBERTY up top. There are also varieties with 16 stars and 13 stars. This design had a Small Eagle Reverse
(1795-1798) and a Heraldic Eagle Reverse (1798-1804). The dollars with Small Eagle Reverse are probably the scarcest type and the ones existent are sold at at
very high premium.
