1795 B-6, BB-25 Silver Dollar, AU53
From the Hesselgesser Collection

1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Three Leaves, B-6, BB-25, R.3, AU53 PCGS. Bowers Die State III, the usual state with four leaves below the first S in STATES. The earliest die state (I) with only three leaves below the first S, apparently the result of a filled or clogged die, is extremely rare.

Dr. Robert D. Hesselgesser, board certified in radiation oncology, has enjoyed a private practice of 45 years after graduating from LA County USC medical center in 1975 and serving two years in the Army as a radiation oncologist. In addition to treating cancer patients, he applies radiation therapy to the treatment of benign conditions including arthritis. In addition to an extensive collection of early silver dollars, Dr. Hesselgesser is a connoisseur with wide-ranging numismatic interests.

This lovely light gray example features a sharp strike on its satin surfaces. The strike is nicely centered on the flan, with the lower obverse border absent due to adjustment marks at the upper reverse. Scattered handling marks are no concern on this impressive silver dollar.
