The Draped Bust Dollar is a type of silver coin that was minted in the United States from 1795 to 1803, featuring a design by artist Robert Scott. The obverse showcases a portrait of Lady Liberty draped in classic robes, while the reverse displays an eagle. The 1796 Draped Bust Dollar is particularly noteworthy as it was one of the first dollars issued after the Coinage Act of 1792, and it is highly sought after by collectors, especially in higher grades due to its limited mintage and historical significance.
