1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-18, B-7. Rarity-3. Three Leaves. EF Details--Environmental Damage (PCGS).An exceptionally attractive coin for the assigned grade, both sides are predominantly silver gray in appearance with predominantly smooth surfaces. The stated qualifier seems to be associated with swirls of deeper russet patina here and there around the peripheries, and it is a harsh assessment in our opinion. Lightly struck in the centers, yet boldly defined elsewhere, this coin is worthy of a close look and a strong bid. With an extant population of 500 to 800 coins (per Q. David Bowers, 2013), BB-18 is one of the more frequently encountered die marriages of the 1795 Flowing Hair dollar. The example offered here would do well in a circulated type, date or variety set. BB Die State I.
