Description
1795 B-13, BB-24 Silver Dollar, XF40
Flowing Hair, Two Leaves
Once Considered a Major Rarity
1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves, B-13, BB-24, R.5, XF40
NGC. Bowers Die State I, from perfect dies, apparently as
always. Although graded XF40, this pleasing, original example has
the eye appeal of a higher grade with pleasing, mark-free medium
gray surfaces that exhibit delightful orange-gold tones and wisps
of sea-green. Once-upon-a-time, the BB-24 dollar was considered a
major rarity. John W. Haseltine called this variety unique in 1881,
and Bolender wrote of just three known in 1950. When this example
was offered in 1988, the cataloger knew of just two finer examples,
while the 2013 Bowers list of Notable Specimens placed this coin
sixth on the list.Ex: Wyatt Collection (Superior, 9/1985), lot 2006; H.W. Blevins Collection (Superior, 6/1988), lot 3565.
From Professor Robert M. Stark's Yolanda Collection.
