***Auction Highlight*** 1795 O-121 Y Over Star R-4 Flowing Hair Half Dollar 50c Graded ms62+ details By SEGS. Tompkins Die State 2/1. A scarce and always interesting 1795 variety, with the Y in LIBERTY punched over an extra star -- one of the classic engraver errors of the Flowing Hair type. This Uncirculated ms62 Details example is among the finest known in the variety, and one of less than 8 known in uncirculated condition. Struck from a fairly early die stage, the obverse shows heavy die clashing from the eagle's wing at Liberty's chin and neck. Three points of an errant star are visible beneath Y.Significant mint luster remains beneath attractive, rainbow toning on both the obverse and reverse. The strike is sharp on the eagle, where virtually all of the eagle's feathers are defined including much of the breast and leg plumage. Razor-sharp hair detail. A few light hairlines are the cause of the details designation. A high powered loupe is required to see them, so zero detraction from the wonderful eye appeal. A few light adjustment marks at the borders and across Liberty's hair require a lens for viewing. It is widely thought that about 3,500 examples still exist regardless of variety, but perhaps only about 35 of the survivors are Mint State. The acquisition of any Mint State Flowing Hair half dollar can be considered a significant numismatic achievement. Early half dollar aficionados will most certainly be competing vigorously for this superb prize. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
