Lot Description

High-Grade 1795 Three Leaves Silver Dollar 1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. B-5, BB-27. Rarity-1. BB Die State II. Three Leaves. AU-50 (PCGS). Pleasing medium to deep gray color in the fields which flashes with colorful iridescence when examined. The upper devices show light wear from circulation, with light silver in those limited areas. Boldly struck throughout, especially so for this date and mint, which is often found poorly struck up. This die pair proved quite strong, and never developed more than light cracks despite coining far in excess of all other varieties of the year. They may have gone on even longer, but the designs were changed in late 1795. Clean surfaces and attractive collector quality. PCGS# 39977. Provenance: From the Freedom Collection.
