This coin is mainly untoned and lustrous throughout both sides with smooth, even surfaces. This is one of the most famous 1795 flowing hair dollars. Liberty&#39;s hair ends in six curls, the 3rd and 4th close together; the 4th has a tiny curved &#34;tail&#34; extending downward, and visible on higher grade pieces like this. Lowest curl distant from star. A diagnostic &#34;bar&#34; over 2 mm. long extends diagonally from close to top curl toward point of 5th star. Look for the &#34;bar&#34; near uppermost curl on BB-27. It is quite distinctive.<BR><BR>The reverse of BB-27 is from a die with three leaves under each wing, and 13 berries, seven on left branch, six on right.
