Lot Description

1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar. O-114, T-15. Rarity-6. Two Leaves. Fair-2 (PCGS). CAC. Originally toned in a blend of golden-gray and warmer dove gray, this coin retains a fully legible date and nearly complete outlining to Liberty's portrait. Interestingly for such a rare die marriage of the 1795 half dollar, there is a single Mint State coin known from the Overton-114 dies. Otherwise the census of this die pairing is comprised of coins grading VF or lower, all of which are eagerly sought by early half dollar variety enthusiasts. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. PCGS# 39230. NGC ID: 24E7. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
