Description
1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-18, B-7. Rarity-3. Three Leaves. EF-45 (NGC).
This handsome piece exhibits warm, even pearl-gray patina with a tinge of mauve also evident on both sides. The in hand appearance is uncommonly smooth for a lightly circulated early dollar, and traces of original luster enhance this coin's desirability. With an extant population of 500 to 800 coins (per Q. David Bowers, 2013), BB-18 is one of the more frequently encountered die marriages of the 1795 Flowing Hair dollar, although it is significantly scarcer than BB-21 and BB-27. The example offered here would do well in an advanced circulated type set, as well as a specialized variety collection of the challenging early dollar series. BB Die State I.
PCGS# 6852. NGC ID: 24WZ.
From the Legacy Collection. Earlier from our June 2021 Auction, lot 2156; Heritage's Long Beach Signature Auction of October 2022, lot 3061.
Estimate: $12000
