- 1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar. O-103a, T-29. Rarity-5. Two Leaves. VF-30 (PCGS). CAC.
An attractive Condition Census example from these heavily worn dies. The strike is superior to most, with fully pronounced stars and good detail to the eagle's feathers. The denticles are also remarkably complete on the obverse, and nearly so on the reverse. Deep slate-grey in the fields reveals hints of pinkish luster remaining in the protected areas. The tops of AM in AMERICA are joined to the rim in a large cud which serves as a convenient diagnostic for this variety. An ancient mark at star 7 remains invisible to the naked eye and the surfaces are otherwise smooth. Original and choice in every respect.
Stephen Herman lists two distinct examples graded EF-40 at the top of the condition census (AMPBR, Autumn 2019), followed by a trio of coins at the VF-30 level, not inclusive of the present piece. As a new addition to this roster, this piece is an incredibly desirable for both superior eye appeal and technical quality. Approval by CAC surely confirms this observation.
PCGS# 6052. NGC ID: 24E7.
