<B>1795 50C 2 Leaves AU58 PCGS.</B></I> O-121, R.4. A classic early American half dollar, the Flowing Hair type was produced for only two years, 1794 and 1795. Not as rare as its 1794 cousin, the '95 is often sought by collectors seeking to complete an early U.S. type set. The variety is attributed by the following: the Y in LIBERTY is punched over a star, star 1 is attached solidly to the left base of the first curl but does not go through, and there are nine berries left and eight right, the only division with four berries under the left (right facing) wing.<BR> This is a wonderful AU58 specimen that contains a good deal of luster on remarkably clean steel-gray surfaces laced with soft sky-blue. An impressive strike leaves excellent definition on the design features, including sharpness on Liberty's hair and virtual completeness on the eagle's plumage. Only the stars along the right border reveal softness in the centers. Clash marks are noted on the obverse, and light adjustment marks are located along the right reverse border. This is a super early half dollar!<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>)
