1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar, AU58
B-9, BB-13, Finest at NGC

1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves, B-9, BB-13, R.4, AU58 NGC. Ex: The Peh Family Collection. Bowers Die State I. R.3. This die marriage is considered very scarce by most specialists today. This coin was struck from an early state of the dies, before the dies clashed. Star 15 is tucked under the tip of Liberty's bust. The reverse die employs 17 berries in the wreath (nine on the left branch, eight on the right), and was used to strike two die marriages (BB-13 and BB-14). This example displays light to medium-gray toning throughout the obverse and reverse. A die centering dot is clearly seen under Liberty's ear. The coin was struck on a microporous planchet and exhibits a pair of lateral planchet flaws that are seen at the base of the bust -- a future pedigree identifier on this conditionally rare coin. Light adjustment marks crisscross the lower obverse as struck. This coin remains the finest B-9, BB-13 dollar certified by NGC and PCGS reports a single AU58+ example (7/25).. Apparently no Mint State BB-13 coins survive, with this coin described as #2 on the Bowers' Encyclopedia list of Notable Specimens.
Ex: ANA Signature (Heritage, 7/2005), lot 10236.
