Description
1794 Flowing Hair Half Dollar
O-101a, VF25, First-Year Type
1794 50C VF25 NGC. O-101a, R.4. Obverse star 1 pierces the
center of the lowest curl. Of course, 1794 was the first date of
silver coinage at the Philadelphia Mint. The O-101 is the most
available variety from this scarce year, and the date is prized as
a first-year type coin. The present coin is a later die state, with
a die break from the rim to the wreath between UNITED and STATES.
The O-101 is believed to be one of the final varieties struck in
this year, despite Overton's order of listing. It was probably
among the 18,164 pieces delivered on February 4, 1795 from 1794
dies. The coin offered here is an attractive survivor, showing only
moderate wear on both sides. The surfaces display deep gray patina
over both sides with the only noticeable flaws being several
shallow adjustment marks in the center of the obverse.Ex: Fairfield Collection (Bowers and Ruddy, 10/77), lot 2117.(Registry values: N4719)
