Lot Description

1795/1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar. O-112. Rarity-4. Recut Date. Good-6 (PCGS). This piece may be well worn with isolated border features completely lost to circulation, but repunching on the date remains clear and bold. Originally toned in a blend of steel-gray and dove-gray shades, with no abrasions that we find particularly noteworthy in a well-worn Half Dollar of the Flowing Hair type. The reverse is quite smooth as far as lack of abrasions is concerned.
