Early Half Dollars
1794 50C O-101, T-7, High R.3, Fine 12 PCGS. Flowing Hair half dollars were only coined in two years, 1794 and 1795. Examples of the latter date are found with little difficulty, but the 1794 is rare, and eagerly pursued in all grades. This example has bold legends and well outlined stars. Partial hair and feather detail is evident. The lavender, navy-blue, and olive-green surfaces are attractive, although a lens reveals occasional thin marks consistent with the grade. Struck during the first year of silver coinage at the First Philadelphia Mint, and a collectible, nicely defined representative of this important issue.
Ex: Boston Signature (Heritage, 8/2010), lot 3131, which realized $10,350.
