Lot 3012
1795. 3 leaves beneath each wing. BB-27; B-5 R1. NGC graded EF-45. Nice even light blue and grey toning with a faint hairline scratch (or is it an adjustment line?) across the face from the nose to the hair. There are a few planchet streaks behind the head, but the color is well balanced, all original, making this BB-27 coin a highly presentable one. Generally sharply made except at Liberty's hair and on the eagle's breast; also there is minor lack of detail in the right wing feathers (as the viewer sees it), but this is more than made up for by the beautiful surface condition and attractive toning. It seems redundant to say this: since the 1794 flowing hair dollar is so expensive and usually found in such miserable conditioin, that leaves the 1795 as the coin to choose when picking a date to represent this type. Pop 9; 17 finer for the variety at NGC.
Estimated Value $9,000 - 11,000.
