1795 Flowing Hair Dollar, VF25
B-7, BB-18; Splendid Original Look

1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves, B-7, BB-18, R.3, VF25 ANACS. Wide Date. Bowers Die State I. Two die lumps near the left ribbon end on the reverse indicate both the variety and the die state. Here, they are bold and not lapped, with the lump on the left the larger of the two. The reverse shows 14 berries -- the only 14-berry reverse for the issue. Tawny-brown toning features olive-gold highlights at the margins, bolstered by remaining mint luster (an attribute eagerly sought by collectors of mid-grade, circulated early dollars). Lilac overtones appear when the coin is viewed at the proper angle. A bold strike with beautiful rims on both sides adds to the substantial appeal. The only marks of note are some mint-made short, horizontal adjustments at the central portrait hair near the jawline.
