Important 1794 Silver Dollar With XF40 Details
1794 $1--Damaged Rim--ANACS. XF40 Details. B-1, BB-1, the only known dies. It is difficult to locate a 1794 Flowing Hair dollar in today's market that is completely problem-free. The coin in this lot is not perfect, but it does possess some noteworthy and desirable features besides the 1794 date. Of obvious importance is the striking definition along the lower left obverse periphery. Stars 2, 3, and 4 are discernible, if not complete, and only star 1 can be described as being mostly absent. All four digits in the date are readily evident, this despite notable softness of detail over the 1. The reverse die was also misaligned at the time of striking with the result that the letters in STATES are quite soft. All other design features are at least present, and there is some bolder definition in the more protected areas of the obverse portrait and reverse eagle. Both sides reveal some minor, scattered circulation marks, but none are particularly noteworthy given the amount of wear that this coin saw. A few adjustment marks are noted at the base of the obverse under the date and to its left. Much of the surfaces display dove-gray coloration, although we do note a few areas of reddish color around the peripheries. This last feature brings us to this coin's most significant detraction: a small piece of the planchet is missing at the top of the obverse, resembling a rim clip. Nevertheless, as a higher grade survivor of this fabled numismatic rarity that offers relatively good overall definition, this coin represents a bidding opportunity that one should consider most carefully.(Registry values: N10218)Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 6851, GSID# 7143)
