1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar. . O-119, R4. NGC graded EF-40. Light even grey toning on both sides. A few light old hairlines on the otherwise attractive light gray surfaces, both sides equally well preserved. The devices are also strongly rendered by the dies on each side. This die pairing is most easily recognized by a small elongated die defect lump between the point of star 15 and point of the bust. It is found on the possibly unique O-118 (9x8 berries reverse) and O-119 (9x9 berries reverse) varieties only. Scarce, but probably more in demand from Type Set buyers who are looking for a well struck, well preserved example of the early flowing hair style.
Estimated Value $8,500 - 9,000.
