1 Troy Ounce of .9999 Fine Gold. #1 Coin Struck of 230. This is the VERY FIRST coin struck of the historic 230<sup>th</sup> anniversary Flowing Hair gold coin series, and it represents one of the most desirable rarities to emerge from the Mint in the modern era. We had the privilege of selling the first struck of the original 1794 Flowing Hair dollars in January 2013 for $ 10,016,875, which set a then-record for the most valuable coin ever sold. This privy mark high relief coin is the modern analogue to this classic rarity and delivers the same inspirational design as interpreted by the Mints artists. While copper die trials are known for the 1794 dollar, these anniversary coins offer the only glimpse at what might have been if Mint Director Rittenhouse had ordered one to be struck in gold. This coin, the VERY FIRST one struck, is the single most significant example of an already-historic series that has drawn interest from collectors all over the world.Also included with this coin are the canceled obverse and reverse dies used to strike these inspiring pieces. The dies are housed in a custom-made box and provide an unprecedented glimpse into the Mints state of the art production process. For advanced collectors of classic Flowing Hair coinage or modern gold rarities, this lot represents a monumental prize.All images, except for the PCGS holdered images and PCGS TrueView images, are for illustrative purposes only and do not depict the exact coin being offered.</em>
