1794 Flowing Hair Half Dollar. O-104, T-11. Rarity-5. VF-20 (NGC). OH.Thoroughly appealing mid grade quality for this key date issue that is of further desirability due to its first year status in the half dollar series. Boldly and evenly toned, the surfaces are awash in blended dove gray and steel-olive that provides a pleasant appearance. Expertly centered on the planchet and well executed over all, the strike has provided good detail to the design elements that has held up well despite a good bit of commercial use. Predominantly smooth and otherwise free of mentionable blemishes, a moderate mark over and above the end of Libertys bust is noted for accuracy. As with most die marriages of the 1794 Flowing Hair half dollar, Overton-104 is currently unknown in any Mint State grade. There are also no About Uncirculated coins extant, this solidly graded VF-20 qualifying as Condition Census for this challenging variety. Tompkins Die Stage 2/3.From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. Ex Robinson S. Brown, as noted in the NGC insert.
