Lot Description

1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-18, B-7. Rarity-3. Three Leaves. Fine-15 (PCGS). Pleasing silver gray surfaces with warmer outlines to many of the devices. The major design elements are fully outlined and bold to allow ready appreciation of this classic early U.S. Mint design. As one of the more frequently encountered die marriages of the 1795 Flowing Hair silver dollar, BB-18 enjoys particularly strong demand among type collectors. With pleasingly smooth, attractively original surfaces the present example would do nicely in any circulated set. Provenance: Acquired from Richard Picker, 1964. PCGS# 6852. NGC ID: 24WZ.
