Lot Description

1794 Flowing Hair Half Dime. LM-3. Rarity-4. EF-45 (PCGS). A deeply and evenly toned example with universally bold EF detail throughout both sides. The two-year Flowing Hair half dime series of 1794 to 1795 has a total mintage of 86,416 pieces. Most numismatic scholars believe that the 1794-dated portion of this mintage is confined to the 7,756 coins delivered on March 30, 1795. In any event, the 1794 is far scarcer than the 1795 in today's market, the present example uncommonly smooth and appealing for the assigned grade. PCGS# 4250. NGC ID: 22ZT.
