Description

1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-27, B-5. Rarity-1. Three Leaves. VF-30 (PCGS).

Bright silver-gray surfaces retain a golden cast in the design recesses and display bold denticles throughout along with ample detail at the centers. Attractive, desirable and an ideal coin for the circulated type set. This die pairing is plentiful overall, but as higher grades are sought out the numbers known dwindle down significantly. Here is one that not only presents well, but is much more attractive than commonly seen. This type with the Flowing Hair obverse has always been a difficult issue to secure as many were damaged or later mishandled, so collector pressure for coins like this has always been strong when they are offered.

PCGS# 6852. NGC ID: 24WZ.

From the Birdwatcher Type Set, with a portion of the proceeds to benefit The Nature Conservancy.
