Lot Description

A Second Choice AU 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar 1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. B-7, BB-18. Rarity-4. Bowers Die State I. Three Leaves. AU-55 (NGC). An impressively lovely Flowing Hair dollar in all regards. Warm golden gray surfaces exhibit lighter high points and splashes of deep neon blue, with lively mint frost in the deepest recesses. Choice for the grade with no marks of merit; even under low magnification the viewer is challenged to find a surface disturbance worth dwelling upon. This popular two-year type coin is among the most popular of early dollar issues, with special demand on the 1795 issue owing to the rarity of its 1794-dated counterpart. If a choice Flowing Hair dollar is the current object of your numismatic desires, we suggest the present specimen will roundly meet all your collecting requirements. PCGS# 6852.
