<B>1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves XF45 NGC.</B></I> B-1, BB-21, R.2. There are five prominent obverse hair curls, with a small curl below the third main curl. Star 1 just touches the lowest curl. On the reverse there are two leaves under each wing, with a leaf ending midway through the first S in STATES. The silver centers are liberally splashed with amber-gold and violet near the rims. Considerable mint luster remains on both sides. A few adjustment marks appear on the reverse, through the eagle's breast, under the right (facing) wing, and through the ST in STATES. Bowers-Borckardt comment of this variety, "[XF] specimens, while elusive, are not rare." But this piece is certainly appealing, and worthy of a strong bid as an affordable example of the first Flowing Hair, Small Eagle type silver dollar.<BR><I>From The John Stimson, Sr. Collection, Part One.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Robert Scot<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
