Lot Description
Second About Uncirculated BB-21 Silver Dollar 1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-21, B-1. Rarity-2. Two Leaves. AU-50 (PCGS). This is a boldly and handsomely toned example, both sides with iridescent cobalt blue undertones on dominant olive-gray patina. The reverse is a bit more vivid than the obverse and also features brighter olive outlines to the design elements, as well as underlying rose, lilac and antique gold iridescence. Wispy handling marks are well concealed by the toning which, however, allows ready appreciation of frosty luster remnants as the surfaces dip into a light. Well centered in strike and predominantly bold, we note only light high point rub that points to a short stint in active circulation. A second opportunity for advanced type collectors to acquire a pleasing AU example of this popular die pairing for the 1795 Flowing Hair dollar. Provenance: From the Legacy Collection. PCGS# 6853.
