Description

1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar. O-104, T-24. Rarity-4. Two Leaves. VF-25 (PCGS). CAC.

A predominantly smoky-gray example with rich golden-brown iridescence outlining most of the design elements. Crisply denticulated borders confirm a fairly well centered strike, the overall detail bold with some sharper definition in the protected areas of the central devices. Overton-104 is one of the more readily obtainable die marriages of the 1795-dated half dollar issue, and it represents the only use of this obverse die, which is readily identifiable by tiny die lumps at the base of the B in LIBERTY and within the upper loop of the same letter. The example offered here would do nicely in a circulated type set.

PCGS# 39219. NGC ID: 24E7.

From the Olds Collection.
