详细说明

1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-14, B-4. Rarity-3. Two Leaves. AU-58 (NGC). Despite Bowers' 1993 assessment that BB-14 is "one of the more readily [die varieties] of the year," examples are seen with far less frequency than those of the 1795 BB-21 and BB-27 varieties. A satiny, lustrous Choice AU, this coin has the added distinction of being conditionally rare for a variety that is usually offered in VF and EF grades. Essentially untoned, silver-gray surfaces also reveal modest semi-prooflike tendencies in the fields as the coin rotates under a light. We note bold denticulation around the borders from a nicely centered strike, and the central devices are also bold-to-sharp in detail. With no significant abrasions, this coin is sure to appeal to high-grade type collectors or early Dollar variety specialists.
