Lot Description

1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-25, B-6. Rarity-3. BB Die State III. Three Leaves. VF-20 (PCGS). OGH. Evenly toned in light silver gray, this pleasing mid grade survivor is well defined in a VF early dollar. A few scattered digs are consistent with the grade, and the adjustment marks that obscure the denticulation along the lower obverse border are as struck and very common to Flowing Hair silver dollars of all die marriages. Although reasonably available with patience, this die pairing is not at all common, especially when compared to the BB-27, B-5 die pairing of this year and major type. As such, the present offering would be a strong selection for any type of collection and makes a fine representative of this first style of silver dollar issued by the United States. PCGS# 6852. NGC ID: 24WZ.
