Lovely Choice AU 1795 Flowing Hair S$1 1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar. BB-27, B-5. Rarity-1. Three Leaves. AU-55 (PCGS). This coin offers superior preservation and eye appeal for a perennially popular type variety in the Flowing Hair dollar series. Lustrous surfaces retain much of the original frosty to semi-reflective finish, which shines through a dusting of iridescent olive-apricot patina and undertones of reddish-gold and, at the upper left obverse border, powder blue. Well centered in strike with crisp denticulation around both sides, the major design elements are impressively full, especially at the central high points. Smooth and inviting in hand with a lovely appearance. BB Die State III.While first introduced in 1794, it was not until 1795 that the silver dollar was produced in numbers that would allow it to fulfill its intended role as the monetary unit of the fledgling nation. At least 10 obverse dies and 11 reverse dies were prepared for the 1795 Flowing Hair dollar, resulting in 19 known varieties. The BB-27 variety is the most available of these and may be distinguished by three leaves under each of the eagle's wings and a "bar" that extends from the topmost curl of Liberty's hair to star 5. Because Liberty's portrait was deeply impressed into the die, this variety was struck in high relief and many details wore down quickly. An estimated 2,500 and 3,500 pieces are believed to exist for the BB-27 die pair, but as with many early silver dollars, almost all are at the low to middle circulated grade levels, making the present Choice AU specimen a real treat for an advanced collector.
