1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves VG10 ANACS. B-5, BB-27, R.1. Although not a perfect example for the grade, this is much more attractive than most, with its natural dark gray fields and lighter tan devices. The surfaces have a few minor abrasions as expected for the grade, and a small reverse rim bruise over the U. (PCGS# 6852)

1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves VF Details, Repaired, NCS. B-5, BB-27, R.1. Pewter gray toning in the central areas deepens to gunmetal gray peripherally. The repair referred to by the NCS label, appears to be in the field in front of Liberty's neck. Some mint-caused adjustment marks can be seen on the eagle's torso and wings, and a few minor rim bumps are visible on the obverse between 5 o'clock and 7 o'clock. Bolender-5 is one of the most easily recognized die varieties of the year. The obverse is distinguished by a die flaw that extends diagonally from the top curl at the back of Liberty's head for about two or three millimeters towards the fifth star. (PCGS# 6852)

A few light surface marks are present, as expected for the grade. Faint hairlines may be seen on the devices only with critical examination. The B-5 variety is the most common of all 1795 Flowing Hair Dollars, thus proves to be an ideal choice for date or type collectors. (PCGS# 6852)

1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves VF35 ANACS. B-5, BB-27, R.1. A smooth, glossy, and attractively detailed example of this early and popular short lived large silver type. The obverse has rich mauve toning with lighter silver-gray color about the stars and on the highpoints. The reverse has light steel-blue and apricot hues. A planchet flaw beneath the Y in LIBERTY and a few faint slide marks on the bust truncation are of no particular importance.

1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves XF Details, Environmental Damage, NCS. B-5, BB-27, R.1. This common 1795 Flowing Hair variety is immediately recognized by a diagonal bar in the left obverse field behind the top hair curl. The surfaces have unusual gold and steel-blue toning with some microscopic roughness, leading to the attribution by NCS. Otherwise, this is a nicely centered and pleasing example of the date and type. (PCGS# 6852)

Both sides have pale brown toning, the obverse with diagonal lines of darker steel color. A few insignificant adjustment marks are visible at ED and numerous tiny abrasions are noted on both sides. Still and all, this is an attractive and highly desirable example of the two-year design type, and the only reasonably priced date for most budgets.

1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves AU53 NGC. B-5, BB-27, R.1. Specialists soon learn to identify this familiar Bolender variety by the bold die line or 'bar' behind the highest neck curl. Deep olive and lilac colors embrace this splendidly detailed final year Flowing Hair Dollar, which exhibits only light wear on the eagle's breast and on Liberty's cheek and shoulder. Careful evaluation locates minor mint-made adjustment marks at 10 o'clock on the reverse. No detrimental marks are detected.

1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves--Plugged, Repaired, Whizzed--ANACS. XF Details, Net Fine 12. B-1, BB-21, R.1. This is the second most plentiful 1795 Flowing Hair variety, and along with B-5, is the perfect candidate for a type collection. It took very close examination to locate the plug, which is by no means readily apparent. In fact, even now that we have located the plug, we have trouble seeing it without magnification. Look below the upright of the digit 7, along the lower obverse border. On the reverse, look between the tops of TE in STATES. Medium gray surfaces have lighter silver color in the fields and on the devices.

1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves VF20 ANACS. B-9, BB-13, R.3. Die State II, said to be rare by Bowers in his 1993 Silver Dollar Encyclopedia. This scarce Bolender variety gains further importance from its interesting die state, since prominent clash marks from the wings and wreath surround the portrait of Liberty. Light cream-gray and chestnut colors adorn the obverse, the reverse has somewhat deeper plum and orange toning. A minor rim ding at 9 o'clock on the reverse, otherwise a charming and impressive VF example.

Each side is bathed in medium golden-gray patina. The design elements display nice detail for the grade, and are well centered on the planchet, and the dentilation is complete on both sides.

1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves VF30 PCGS. B-4, BB-14, R.3.

The slate-gray surfaces are well balanced and lighten somewhat on the highpoints of the devices. There are no singularly detracting marks or abrasions. (PCGS# 6853)

The surfaces display even overall wear that has not, however, resulted in any distracting loss of detail. The peripheral features are fully defined and both sides are relatively unmarked with rich lavender-gray toning. A couple of small spots are noted near the eighth star. (PCGS# 6853)

1795 $1 Draped Bust, Centered VF30 PCGS. B-15, BB-52, R.1. Mostly brilliant surfaces with hints of pale gray in the fields and blushes of gold on the highpoints. A tiny obverse rim bump at 9 o'clock is mentioned for accuracy's sake. Some faint mint caused adjustment marks can be seen at the reverse rim above AMERICA. The obverse shows virtually perfect centering, something that suggests that the obverse was the anvil die when this specimen was coined.

1795 $1 Draped Bust, Off Center XF45 PCGS. B-14, BB-51, R.2. A very attractive coin for the grade with light silvery-gray accented by peripheral russet on the obverse and reverse. With this new design which incorporated the Draped Bust of Liberty combined with the small eagle reverse, it is believed that this was the first die pairing engraved. Note how the head of Liberty is crowded off to the left of the obverse, with only a small field below her ribbon, while the right side of the obverse has a large, open expanse. Clearly the head of Liberty looks misplaced on this variety. One other 1795 variety was coined in which the head of Liberty is centered on the coin, and Liberty kept her centering for the duration of the use of this design. No adjustment marks are seen, and the surfaces attractive for the grade, with a few minor surface lines in the fields, but not unexpected for such a large, circulated coin.

1796 $1 Large Date, Small Letters, VF Details, Reverse Damage, NCS. B-5, BB-65, R.2. A sizeable reverse die lump (as produced) at the IC in AMERICA readily identifies this coin as an example of the B-5, BB-65 die marriage. After B-4, this is the most easily obtainable variety of 1796 Dollar, and Bowers estimates that 800-1,400 pieces are extant. A small attempted puncture is noted over the N of UNITED on the reverse, but there are no other mentionable distractions or mentionable marks on either side. Deep gray patina covers each side with crescent-like area of charcoal at the top right of the reverse. Still, a pleasing, mid-grade example. (PCGS# 6861)
