1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-14, B-4. Rarity-3. Two Leaves. AU Details--Scratches (NGC).Satiny, somewhat glossy-textured surfaces are adorned with pretty, yet questionable toning in a golden-apricot color. Both sides are boldly defined from a well-centered strike, there being none but light wear to report. Wispy hairlines and a few pinscratches are noted for the obverse, but the outstanding sharpness contributes to overall positive eye appeal. <p>While not a major rarity in an absolute sense, the B-14 die variety of the 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar is seldom offered any finer than EF. BB-14 represents one of several varieties with the two-leaves reverse and the Head of 94 obverse. This die marriage is often called the "Hidden Star" variety for the unusual placement of star 15 beneath the tip of Libertys bust, a unique characteristic among Flowing Hair dollar dies and an easy identifier of the die. From the Collection of Thaddeus A. Tatum III. Earlier ex our sale of November 2010, lot 2193.
