Losbeschreibung

1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar. O-113, T-14. Rarity-3. Two Leaves. A/E in STATES. VG-8 (PCGS). Warm olive-charcoal peripheral toning blends with otherwise dominant golden-gay patina. Well centered in strike with fully denticulated borders, both sides also exhibit bold outline detail to all major design elements. Several tiny digs over and around the eagle are noted for accuracy. A popular and readily attributable die marriage of the 1795-dated half dollar issue, Overton-113 is the only variety of the date with the letter A in STATES punched over an erroneous E. This is one of the more frequently encountered die pairings of the issue, which provides many collectors with the opportunity to own a pleasing example of the A/E variety, as here. Tompkins Die Stage 2/1. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. PCGS# 39252. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
