Description
Conditionally Scarce 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar, AU50
B-4, BB-14
1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves AU50 NGC. B-4, BB-14, R.3.
Die State I. The conditional scarcity of this AU example is readily
apparent when one examines the Population Distribution for this die
variety that is outlined by Bowers, in his silver dollar and trade
dollar Encyclopedia. Bowers estimated that there were
approximately 350 to 550 coins in existence (in 1993), with up to
525 of those pieces surviving in circulated grades through XF45. In
AU condition or finer, however, he estimated that there were only a
maximum of 29 coins extant. The current example displays ample
luster for the grade, and lusciously deep rose-brown toning that is
accompanied by golden accents in the fields and near the periphery.
Modest highpoint wear on both sides leaves a substantial degree of
design detail, and, other than a faint horizontal adjustment mark
on Liberty's cheek, surface flaws are minimal. A darker toning
streak that extends from near star 11 across Liberty's jaw area may
be explained by this additional comment from Bowers: "A few pieces
I have seen have had black carbon streaks, the result of improper
alloy mixing."Ex: Stack's (unknown sale), lot 5863.
