1795 $1 Flowing Hair, BB-25 MS (PCGS#39975)

February 2015 Americana Auction U.S Coins

详细说明: 1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-25, B-6, BB Die State III. Rarity-3. Three Leaves. VF-25 (NGC). The obverse of this lovely Flowing Hair example glistens with olive and teal highlights, complimenting the mostly dove-gray patina that blankets the opposite side. The motifs remain prominent and sharp, nicely pairing against the composed and mostly untroubled fields. Close scrutiny exposes streaks of minor roughness in the lower obverse fields, but this goes largely unnoticed without magnification. A scarcer die pairing which is not commonly seen in any grade, let alone this well preserved. The Three Leaf variety refers to the three leaves located above the branch, but below each wing of the eagle. Most die pairings of 1795 silver dollars have two leaves in this location. All certified 1795 Flowing Hair silver dollars are in high demand as so many of these early coins have been harshly cleaned or damaged, thus a wholesome coin like this is certain to find many collectors seeking to obtain it when it crosses the auction block. PCGS# 148300. NGC ID: 24WZ. Provenance: From the Highland Collection.
