Lot Description

1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-13, B-9. Rarity-4. Two Leaves. Fine-12 (PCGS). This boldly toned example exhibits charcoal outlines to the devices with lighter silver gray (obverse) and antique gold (reverse) elsewhere. The detail is suitably bold for the assigned grade with the basic design clear and fully appreciable. Several swirls of light residue at the lower obverse and, especially, reverse borders are noted for accuracy. All in all, however, this is a suitable circulated representative of this popular and challenging early U.S. Mint type. PCGS# 6853. NGC ID: 24WZ.
