Description du lot

1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-20, B-2. Rarity-3. BB Die State II. Two Leaves. Fine-12 (PCGS). Evenly toned silvery-gray fields and golden-russet devices retain bold definition and attractive distraction-free surfaces. Notice the smooth wear over Liberty's curls, yet ample separation still exists on the main curls, similar on the eagle where some of the feathers in his wing are present. An attractive and desirable coin in every regard, and destined to find cherished place in any collection. The dollar coin, of silver as seen here, was our basic unit of measure. When comparison is made to a current dollar coin or bill, one sees significant change over the 220 years since this piece was struck. PCGS# 6853. NGC ID: 24WZ. Provenance: From the Highland Collection.
