1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar. O-108a, T-17. Rarity-4. Two Leaves. AU-58 (PCGS).
Soft silver-mauve patina with well blended olive-blue iridescence at the borders. This is a well produced coin by early U.S. Mint standards, the borders fully denticulated around both sides and most major design elements crisp. Softness to the high points of the eagle on the reverse is noted for accuracy. Abundant satin luster remains to surfaces that are smooth in hand with no marks or other blemishes of note. Tompkins Die Stage 3/3.Overton-108 is a scarcer die marriage for the 1795 Flowing Hair half dollar issue, although interestingly a number of Mint State examples are known. Such pieces are rare in an absolute sense, of course, and even the offered coin in PCGS AU-55 qualifies as Condition Census for the O-108a die state per the listing in the Autumn 2022 revision to Stephen J. Herrman's Auction & Mail Bid Prices Realized for Bust Half Dollars: 1794-1839.
