Lot Description

Bold AU 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar 1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. Flowing Hair. BB-27, B-5. Rarity-1. Three Leaves. AU-50 (NGC). This attractive example is toned in iridescent pinkish-gray patina that is a bit bolder on the reverse. Lighter pewter gray high points are also noted for both sides, with areas of brilliance around the devices identifying remnants of original satin luster. Overall boldly defined from a well centered and nicely executed strike, this is a pleasing early dollar that would fit nicely in a high grade type set where an example of the brief Flowing Hair design of 1794 to 1795 is required. PCGS# 6852.
