Whereas Bolender-5 has a short raised line near the upper hair curl, Boldender-2 is noted for Obverse 5 (also used on Bolender-19) in which there is a short raised die line beside the 4th star. This well struck specimen has extremely clean surfaces, medium gray and russet patina with lighter "rubbed silver" accents on the top features, and is very nicely preserved for the issue. Not rare, Bolender-2 exists to the extent of an estimated 300 to 500 specimens, thus the specialist will find acquiring one to be a snap in lower grades, though a little bit of a challenge in Extremely Fine quality, as offered here. Only 2 leaves under each wing of the eagle; later 1795 Flowing Hair dollars have 3 leaves from a different wreath punch.
