Losbeschreibung

1795/1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar. O-112, T-20. Rarity-4. Recut Date, Two Leaves. VF-25 (PCGS). Attractive light dove-gray patina with plenty of bright silver intermingled over both sides. This is a well centered, overall boldly defined VF with faint traces of original satin luster evident as the coin dips into a light. The reverse is rotated a few degrees counterclockwise from normal coin alignment. Overton-112 represents the second and final use of the popular Recut Date obverse die of the 1795 Flowing Hair half dollar, here paired with a Two Leaves reverse die. This variety is not rare in an absolute sense, but it enjoys strong demand from specialists at all levels of preservation. Tompkins Die Stage 1/1. Provenance: From the Lincoln Square Collection.
