Description du lot

1794 Flowing Hair Half Dollar. O-101a. Rarity-3+. Good-6 (NGC). This is the first year of issue of the half dollar denomination and a decent example at that with the 94 in the date sharp but a toning spot partially obscures the top of the 7. Medium to dark gray with lilac hues on the devices and some deeper charcoal patches on both sides. This later die state has a reverse die crack through the F in OF into the eagle, which has weakened that part of the strike and caused minor uneven wear. The surfaces are average for the grade assigned, and this is a hard coin to find this wholesome as most circulated for many years and show various damage. PCGS# 6051.
