1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar. O-105a, T-25. Rarity-4. Two Leaves. MS-62 (NGC).This exquisite Flowing Hair half dollar exhibits lustrous surfaces with matte-like fields, both sides bathed in vivid cobalt, rose and gold over antique silver patina. The strike is above average for the type, especially on the obverse where we note crisp definition to the tresses of Libertys hair and full, bold denticulation around the border. Both sides are remarkably free from adjustment marks, typically seen in survivors of this issue. Intense scrutiny with a loupe fails to reveal any significant post-production abrasions. An important coin for the variety collector that is sure to be hotly contested by those wishing to own the finest in numismatic rarities. Condition Census for the 1795 O-105 dies, and tied for highest graded for the O-105a die state.From our Baltimore Auction of March 2017, lot 3052.
