1795 B-12, BB-26 Silver Dollar, VF Details

1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves, B-12, BB-26, R.5 -- Cleaned -- NGC Details. VF. Bowers Die State II, with a vertical crack from the bust to the border through the 7 in the date. The famous Matthew A. Stickney Collection had an example that appeared as lot 807 in Henry Chapman's Stickney sale in 1907 where the cataloger wrote: "Die cracked from edge through 7 of date up into the head." Since Bolender knew of only one cracked die coin in 1950, he assumed that his own coin must be the Stickney specimen. However, any example of this die state, such as the present coin, could also claim to be from Stickney. Pale blue-steel toning resides on the light silver-gray surfaces of this piece from the die state also described as B-12a. A few inconsequential rim nicks and surface marks are evident.
Ex: Bowers and Merena (3/1985), lot 2450; ANA Signature (Heritage, 7/1993), lot 5369.
