1795 $1 Flowing Hair, 2 Leaves N1 认证号45916945, PCGS号6853

1795 Flowing Hair $1 Dollar, Two Leaf Variety. PCGS Genuine, VG Detail, Cleaned (code 92). Planchet flaw resulting in pit-like indentation on reverse. Nice 2-tone eye appeal on obverse, which I think actually appears almost Fine. Popular type coin. Acquired 12/20/2022 at eBay for $2650 buy-it-now, from coin dealer Carlsbad Village Coins (Danny Ray/Wait Ankerman) of Carlsbad, CA. At time of purchase, total population graded higher at PCGS was only 785. PCGS retail value was $2,100 but in reality coins of this quality routinely sell at eBay for $2600-3000, usually closer to $3,000+. Ones that sell for around $2,600 will typically be worse quality than this one, often with plugged holes or rim damage or tooled damage. Grey sheet retail value $3,750 in VG (if not cleaned). Connor called attention to opportunity to purchase this at conservative fair price. Otherwise, we agreed it probably would have sold fast within a day to someone else. Interestingly, about 1-week after I purchased it publicly at eBay, PCGS raised the market value by $150 from $2100 to $2250, perhaps due to my purchase ?

1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollars are known in two different major varieties: 2 Leaves and 3 Leaves.  To determine the variety, simply look at the leaf clusters beneath the eagle's wings -- the clusters will contain either two or three leaves.

In terms of relative rarity, the 2 Leaves variety is approximately three times as rare as the 3 Leaves variety.  Mint State examples of both major varieties are rare and valuable.  Surprisingly, the PCGS Condition Census is comprised entirely PCGS MS64 and better examples.  The best examples are a pair of PCGS MS65s
