Scarce 1794 Flowing Hair Half Dollar, O-101, VF20

1794 50C VF20 PCGS. O-101, High R.3. This is the first die marriage of any date listed in Al Overton's classic reference text on early half dollars. It is also easily the most common variety of 1794, making it the obvious choice either for the date collector or the Flowing Hair type specialist. R.W. Julian estimates that between 250 and 350 pieces survive from this die pair, while the total original mintage for all 1794 half dollar varieties was 23,464. This coin is well detailed with charcoal-gray coloration near the peripheries, medium-gray toning in the fields, and a lighter silvery-gray cast on the central devices. Evenly worn with a few small planchet flaws on the obverse and several shallow adjustment marks across the reverse. (Registry values: N4719)
