1795 Flowing Hair Dollar ($1) 2 Leaves

The 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar represents one of the most significant issues in American numismatics - the second year of the first silver dollar produced by the United States Mint. With only 160,295 pieces struck across all varieties, these coins saw heavy use in early American commerce, making high-grade examples particularly scarce.

This XF45 example displays remarkably clean surfaces for the grade with even, medium gray toning throughout. The strike is bold, with clear hair details and well-defined stars. The fields retain some of their original luster, particularly evident around the devices. The reverse eagle shows strong feather definition and the wreath remains crisp. For an early dollar that saw circulation, the eye appeal is outstanding.

Early dollars of this quality level are becoming increasingly difficult to locate, especially with such original, problem-free surfaces. The absence of adjustment marks, which often plague early dollars, makes this coin particularly desirable.
