Lot Description

1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-27, B-5. Rarity-1. BB Die State II. Three Leaves. VF-20 (NGC). An undeniably charming Flowing Hair dollar with a smooth, glossy complexion of charcoal and olive tones. Thoroughly bold and well pronounced, with sharp definition evident on all of the devices. The surfaces remain well composed under magnification, lacking in remarkable abrasions on either side. Attractive and pleasingly wholesome for the assigned grade. The wear on Liberty's hair is typical of this issue, but the eagle offers some feather definition. Notice too, the trio of leaves under each of the eagles wings on the top of the branch, these are the "Three Leaves" referred to as the major variety of this year. PCGS# 6853. NGC ID: 24WZ. Provenance: From the Highland Collection.
