A well balanced VF early dollar with swirls of cobalt blue on otherwise golden-gray surfaces. The strike is well centered on both sides with plenty of bolder detail remaining in the recessed areas of the design. The stated qualifier concerns a faint horizontal planchet streak on the reverse that bisects the eagles neck and the top of both wings. While not a particularly rare die marriage in an absolute sense, BB-18 is more challenging to collect than BB-21 and BB-27, the truly common varieties of the 1795 Flowing Hair silver dollar. The reverse of BB-18 is the only one of the issue with 14 berries in the wreath, seven left and seven right, and in this marriage it is paired with an obverse on which the lowermost hair curl forms a small, perfectly shaped oval.,PCGS# 6852.
