March 2015 ANA U.S. Coins Auction Portland, OR

详细说明: 1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-25, B-6. Rarity-3. BB Die State III. Three Leaves. VF-20 (NGC). A pleasing mixture of slate and dove-gray hues saturates the well-composed surfaces of this delightful Three Leaves example. Bold and well-defined across both sides, with remnants of adjustment marks (as made) visible across much of the obverse. Subtle notions of Mint luster are apparent around the motifs in select areas, though a minor rim ding is visible at the lower left reverse border. This obverse die was previously used to coin the BB-24, B-13 variety (which is paired with a Two Leaves reverse die), then went on to coin this variety. At the time this piece was struck, the obverse die had been lapped again, likely to reduce or remove die clashing evidence, but in this process also shortened some of Liberty's curls and removed other traces of recutting on E and R of LIBERTY, with the tail of the R slightly strengthened with an engraving tool. A popular die variety with collectors as well as with type enthusiasts. PCGS# 6852. NGC ID: 24WZ. Provenance: From the Highland Collection.
