- Scarce About Uncirculated 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar BB-21, B-1 1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-21, B-1. Rarity-1. Two Leaves. AU-50 (PCGS). A sharp example of this desirable Flowing Hair issue with strong eye appeal for the assigned grade. The surfaces are smooth and harbor considerable luster, which frames the bold design elements in most areas. A small mark is noted in the right obverse field at Liberty's throat and a trivial pinscratch crosses the field between star 6 and Liberty's hair. Bathed in a pearlescent medley of lavender, peach, and golden shades that glow under a light source. 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 Greenway Collection. PCGS# 6853. Click herefor certification details from PCGS.
