1794 Flowing Hair Half Dollar. O-110, T-9. Rarity-7-. VF Details--Scratch (PCGS). This warmly and originally toned example presents uncommonly well for the assigned grade. A well centered strike with fully denticulated borders and bold outline detail to the design elements further enhances this coins appearance. Otherwise smooth in hand, a shallow scuff at the base of Libertys portrait and a few wispy pin scratches in the right obverse field are noted. Tompkins Die Stage 1/2.Numismatic scholars have identified 11 die marriages of the 1794 Flowing Hair half dollar, which range from the relatively common Overton-101 to the unique O-109 (two copper impressions are also known) and O-111. We stress the word "relatively" in the preceding sentence for the 1794 half dollar as an issue is scarce from a market availability standpoint, such is the demand for examples from both first year type collectors and early half dollar enthusiasts.Overton-110 is in the second rarity tier among 1794 half dollar die pairings. The variety is collectible, but just barely as it must still be considered extremely rare in all grades. The elusiveness of survivors is explained by the fact that very few coins were struck from this die marriage in the first place. All known examples display at least the beginning of a reverse break that would eventually bisect that side of the coin from the border outside the first letter A in AMERICA to the opposite border outside the letter D in UNITED. The present example is a middle die state, Tompkins Die Stage 1/2, with the reverse crack fully formed, although not yet so heavy that the area of the coin above the crack has risen above the area below. This crack clearly developed early, and advanced quickly, leading Mint employees to withdraw this die from production after a limited press run. Overton-110, in fact, represents the only known use of this reverse. The obverse die, however, soldiered on and, paired with two different reverse dies, struck coins of the O-103 and O-104 varieties (in that order, per Tompkins).This variety eluded numismatic discovery until 1982, when Jules Reiver acquired a 1794 half dollar from Werner (?) in March of that year that he subsequently confirmed as the previously unknown O-110 marriage. In the 37 years since Reivers discovery only 11 additional examples of the 1794 O-110 variety have been confirmed.Including the coin offered here, we are aware of just 12 examples of the 1794 O-110 half dollar.
