Patinated XF 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar, B-5, BB-27

1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves, B-5, BB-27, R.1, XF40 NGC. Bowers-Borckardt Die State III. Flowing Hair dollar collectors quickly learn to attribute B-5 at a glance by looking at the upper back hair curl. If a brief, straight die line is present, it is B-5, which makes up perhaps a majority of the surviving Flowing Hair dollars. Collectors are fortunate the variety is available, because it brings this large early silver type, struck during the administration of George Washington, to an attainable price level. This example displays noticeable luster and is richly toned in orange, rose-red, powder-blue, and olive-green. Inspection under magnification locates only two toned-over marks, beneath the left (facing) wing and on the field near star 12.(Registry values: N4719)
