So look closely what you are seeing is not a bust,This coin was turned and struck at least 3 times. Again I say I'm sorry it took so long to find one but let's be realist here two weeks was pushing it but still what a month or so isn't that bad you ask me. Anyway enjoy

With all due respect, I fail to see how one can say this isn't a draped bust. It clearly is. I'd recommend taking an even closer look.

That is just so clearly a draped bust I don't see how you can think it is anything else. The shape of the face is all wrong for a 1793, wrong wreath on the reverse, not much elsee to say.

Weren't there only 4 or 5 ever struck? Making this a ultra rare variety? with all the above .

Well there you have it folks the nays have spoken. Clearly it's a draped bust with Liberty facing the wrong way or something to that affect. The goal as I understand it for this forum is the open exchange of information and ideas for the continued education of the hobby, if this is correct please allow me a minute to produce a few facts.
1793 flowing hair strawberry leaf faces Right. She has a high bust unlike the draped this is why I said in the beginning to look close as it is not a draped bust but a continuing re-stamping while turning. I'm aware that it's more than likely impossible to see it from the pictures I posted but she unlike the draped bust has what is known as a beaded border rather than dentils. The reverse on the other hand again I can see where it is hard to make out but after the first bunch of laurel leaves are two separate type leaves that look an awful lot like maple or oak but in fact as I understand it are actually strawberry leaves. All of this can be found a multiple websites but I gained all my information from PCGS's website.
