- 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar. 3 leaves beneath each wing. . B-6, BB-25. NGC graded AU-55. Light even toning on both sides. Light adjustment marks near the date but note especially the clean fields and devices, as well as the uniformity of the antique color. Considering the run of the mill 1795 dollars offered for sale, this handsome coin is something of a milestone. Three die states of 1795 BB-25 are reported or surmised, with the most plentiful, like the present coin, Die State III. Here, the obverse die was relapped (i.e., in a later state than Die State I). The relapping was especially severe and shortened the curls, with the lowest curl now ending in a point between two points of star rather than crossing through, and is near star. Traces of the former erroneous R under E of LIBERTY now mostly gone. An engraving tool was used to strengthen the bottom tail of R. Reverse: A fourth leaf is now seen in the cluster below the first S in STATES on the reverse; presumably, the die became unclogged. This die state used to be catalogued as Bolender-6 and Haseltine-6. Pop 2; None finer at NGC. Estimated Value $20,000 - 22,000.
