- Handsome AU 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar Two Leaves Variety 1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-21, B-1. Rarity-2. Two Leaves. AU-53 (PCGS). This is a pleasingly original example toned in a blend of dove gray and silver-olive patina. Both sides also reveal more vivid undertones of golden-apricot iridescence as the surfaces dip into a light. The strike is well centered with fully, if not quite evenly denticulated borders around both sides. The devices are boldly to sharply defined over virtually all design elements, wear expectably minimal for the assigned grade and largely confined to a few of the central high points. A trivial planchet flaw at 6 o'clock on the obverse is as made, and there are no post-production blemishes of note. The second of only two dates in the United States Mint's premier silver dollar series, 1795 is the preferred type candidate for the Flowing Hair design given the rarity of the 1794 in all grades. Bowers-Borckardt 21 is the second most available die marriage of the issue after BB-27, and examples are particularly popular for type purposes. Extremely Fine examples are scarce, and AU coins are considerably rarer. A readily attributable die, the obverse of BB-21 exhibits more or less bold remnants of a 1 underdigit beneath the primary digit 7 in the date. This die was also used to strike examples of the BB-22 and BB-23 varieties. Provenance: From the Estate of Ray H Corvin. PCGS# 6853. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
