1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-18, B-7. Rarity-3. Three Leaves. EF Details--Cleaned (PCGS). Retoned quite nicely in a blend of antique silver and rose-gray, this coin presents exceptionally well despite the PCGS qualifier. The reverse is the more boldly patinated of the two sides, although both are equally sharp in terms of remaining detail. The only mentionable softness is confined to the centers, largely the result of a concentration of adjustment marks (as made) on the obverse at and below Libertys ear. Otherwise quite smooth in hand, strong bids are recommended as there is a lot of "coin" here for the grade. 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.
