Lot Description

1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-14, B-4. Rarity-3. Two Leaves. VF-20 (PCGS). This is a handsome, originally preserved example with dominant steel gray patina to both sides. Glints of charcoal-russet are also evident in the protected areas around some of the devices. Bold VF detail throughout with an overall smooth appearance that is a noteworthy departure from the norm for a mid grade early dollar. Although not as plentiful as BB-27 or BB-21, BB-14 is one of the more frequently encountered die marriages of the 1795 Flowing Hair issue. The present example would do particularly well in a circulated type set. PCGS# 39981. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
