1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves MS60 CSN
<B>1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves--Scratched, Improperly Cleaned--NCS. Unc Details. </B></I> B-2, BB-20, R.2. Die State II. The first U.S. Mint at Philadelphia had a great deal of trouble in producing silver coinage, especially the large silver dollars. After an abbreviated mintage in 1794 of 1,758 coins, 1795 was the first year of multiple deliveries requiring the usage of more than one pair of dies. In 1993, Bowers estimated the number of survivors for this particular die variety to be 300 to 500 pieces, noting: "The variety is typically encountered in lower grades but is rare above EF." This coin has been harshly cleaned and shows a couple of fairly deep scratches in the left obverse field, but there are substantial design details remaining, unlike on the typically seen Fine example. Light hairlines and pale greenish-silver coloration are observed on each side. Stack's described this coin in their catalog as:<BR> "<B>1795 Flowing hair</B></I>. Two leaves below each wing. <B>Choice About Uncirculated</B></I>. A tiny old scratch just touching the 6th star, otherwise the coin is 'perfect.' A magnificent strike with natural prooflike surfaces. Pale golden toning."<BR><I>Ex: Stack's (3/1984), lot 1075.</B></I><BR><I>From The Queller Family Collection of Silver Dollars.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
