1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar (50c) O-105

The 1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar represents one of the earliest silver coins produced by the United States Mint. With a total mintage of only 299,680 pieces across all varieties, any 1795 half dollar is a prized piece of early American numismatic history.

This VG10 example shows honest wear from circulation during the early years of the Republic. The surfaces display a pleasing, even gray patina that has developed naturally over more than two centuries. Despite its wear, the major design elements remain clear and the eye appeal is strong for the grade. The fields are remarkably smooth for a coin that saw such extensive use, free from the heavy marks or damage often seen on early half dollars.

Finding an unmolested, problem-free example of this historic issue becomes increasingly challenging with each passing year. This coin represents an excellent opportunity to own a piece of America's earliest coinage that saw actual use in commerce during the nation's formative years.
