<B>1794<S$1> VF Details, Repaired NCS.</B></I> B-1, BB-1, the only known dies. It is difficult to locate a 1794 Flowing Hair Dollar in today's market that is completely problem-free. The coin in this lot is not perfect, but it does possess some noteworthy and desirable features besides the 1794 date. Of obvious importance is the striking definition along the lower left obverse periphery. Stars 1, 3, and 4 are discernible, if not complete, and only star 2 can be described as being totally absent. All four digits in the date are readily evident, this despite a little softness of detail over the 1. The reverse die was also misaligned at the time of striking with the result that the TED in UNITED and STATE in STATES are more or less absent. All other design features are at least present, and there is some bolder definition in the more protected areas of the obverse portrait and reverse eagle. Now for the surface preservation. Both sides reveal some scattered circulation marks, but none are particularly noteworthy given the amount of wear that this coin saw. Much of the surfaces display not unattractive dove-gray coloration, although we do note a few areas of variegated color around the peripheries. This last feature brings us to this coin's most significant detraction: a plug through the upper obverse. This repair was rather well executed on the reverse, yet markedly less so on the obverse as far as the E in LIBERTY is concerned. Nevertheless, as a mid-grade survivor of this fabled numismatic rarity that offers relatively good overall definition, this coin represents a bidding opportunity that one should consider most carefully. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
