Lot Description

1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-18, B-7. Rarity-3. Three Leaves. EF-45 (NGC). This handsome piece exhibits warm, even pearl-gray patina with a tinge of mauve also evident on both sides. The in hand appearance is uncommonly smooth for a lightly circulated early dollar, traces of original luster further enhancing this coin's desirability. With an extant population of 500 to 800 coins (per Q. David Bowers, 2013), BB-18 is one of the more frequently encountered die marriages of the 1795 Flowing Hair dollar. The example offered here would do well in a circulated type, date or variety set. BB Die State I. PCGS# 6852. NGC ID: 24WZ. Click here for certification details from NGC.
