Description
1795 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves Dollar, Unc Details
B-2, BB-20
1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves--Scratched, Improperly
Cleaned--NCS. Unc Details. B-2, BB-20, R.2. Die State II. The
first U.S. Mint at Philadelphia had a great deal of trouble in
producing silver coinage, especially the large silver dollars.
After an abbreviated mintage in 1794 of 1,758 coins, 1795 was the
first year of multiple deliveries requiring the usage of more than
one pair of dies. In 1993, Bowers estimated the number of survivors
for this particular die variety to be 300 to 500 pieces, noting:
"The variety is typically encountered in lower grades but is rare
above EF." This coin has been harshly cleaned and shows a couple of
fairly deep scratches in the left obverse field, but there are
substantial design details remaining, unlike on the typically seen
Fine example. Light hairlines and pale greenish-silver coloration
are observed on each side. Stack's described this coin in their
catalog as:"1795 Flowing hair. Two leaves below each wing. Choice About Uncirculated. A tiny old scratch just touching the 6th star, otherwise the coin is 'perfect.' A magnificent strike with natural prooflike surfaces. Pale golden toning."
Ex: Stack's (3/1984), lot 1075.
