- Lovely Choice EF 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar 1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-27, B-5. Rarity-1. Three Leaves. EF-45 (PCGS). A nicely preserved and well produced BB-27 dollar. Blooms of frosty mint luster flash into view and are most intense in the protected areas around the design elements. The peripheries are enhanced by iridescent pinkish-rose and powder blue toning that finds its greatest expression along the upper obverse border. Otherwise minimally toned in pale silver-olive and champagne-pink, both sides are pleasingly smooth with no troublesome marks. Bold EF detail throughout the design adds to this coin's already impressive appeal. BB Die State II. While first introduced in 1794, it was not until 1795 that the silver dollar was produced in numbers that would allow it to fulfill its intended role as the monetary unit of the fledgling nation. At least 10 obverse dies and 11 reverse dies were prepared for the 1795 Flowing Hair dollar, resulting in 19 known varieties. The BB-27 variety is the most available of these and may be distinguished by three leaves under each of the eagle's wings and a "bar" that extends from the topmost curl of Liberty's hair to star 5. Because Liberty's portrait was deeply impressed into the die, this variety was struck in high relief and many details wore down quickly. An estimated 2,500 and 3,500 pieces are believed to exist for the BB-27 die pair, but as with many early silver dollars, almost all are at the low to middle circulated grade levels, making the present specimen a real treat for an advanced collector.
