Lot 1722
1794 Flowing Hair Half Dollar. . O-104. PCGS graded VG-8. This coin is probably about the tenth finest known of the variety, but it is one of the better examples to show the full reverse rim break above ER of AMERICA. The obverse break is noted at star three, but it does not continue to Liberty's chin and star eleven. Well balanced for the grade, with natural steel gray tones on the obverse, a dit darker on the reverse, which also has some old encrustations attached to several devices and lettering. Light adjustment marks extend through the eagle. Splendid rims and surfaces for the grade, and while more common than some of the other varieties offered of 1794, tough to find nice. A lovely example for the specialist.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,500.
Purchased from Paul Pritchett, 9/91.
