The Draped Bust Silver Dollar was struck by the United States from 1795 through 1804 and remains one of the most important silver coins from early American history.

In 1798, the series transitioned to a new reverse showing a heraldic eagle, replacing the earlier small eagle design.

This was the second obverse design used on silver dollars and introduced a more classical style. Libertys hair flows naturally, and the field is surrounded by 13 stars honoring the original colonies. It is widely believed that Robert Scot modeled Liberty after Ann Willing Bingham, a well-known social figure in Philadelphia during the late 18th century. **Reverse** On the reverse, the heraldic eagle design appears for only the third time in the Draped Bust Dollar series. Introduced in 1798, this design shows a bald eagle with a shield placed across its chest. The eagle holds arrows and an olive branch in its talons, symbolizing readiness for defense and a desire for peace. Thirteen stars are arranged above the eagle as a nod to the nations founding states. **History** The 1800 Draped Bust Silver Dollar reflects a period when the United States was still developing its economic identity. The population was overwhelmingly rural, and many transactions relied on trade rather than cash. Foreign silver coins were commonly used due to limited domestic minting, making early US silver dollars especially important in daily commerce. **Ordering** BGASC customer service is happy to help with questions about 90% silver coins at 888-992-4272.
