<Our item number 98913><B>1795 Flowing Hair Dollar. 2 leaves beneath each wing. NGC graded VF-35.</B> Nice even grey toning. The fields acquired the deepest patina, a splendid steel gray hue, while lighter shades of silver-gray accent the high points of the portrait, stars, date, and legends, as well as the eagle. There is some moderately dark toning below the eagle's tail feathers, and a few wispy hairlines running hither and yon, but most of these require magnification to see. Rims are outstanding in their freedom from marks. The eagle is well struck.<BR><BR>Noted on BB-21, the flowing hair is in five prominent curls, with a thin faint additional curl below the third curl from the top. The head is high and closer to LIBERTY than on most other obverses. The date is wide, with more space between 1 and 7 than other figures. The 7 in the date was repunched over an erroneous 1, prompting some to catalogers to describe the variety as 1795 over 1195. The erroneous 1 is especially visible on early die states. A plentiful issue within the confines of the series, but under strong pressure from collectors needing it for the Flowing Hair type. <B>Pop 21; 19 finer.</B> <BR>Estimated Value $6,000-6,500. <BR><BR>Our item number 98913<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN="CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/37jpegs//098913.jpg"> <BR><IMG SRC="http://goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/37jpegs//098913N2.jpg"> </P></IMAGES>
