A 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar struck with a blundered die in the date area

Each of the letters, numbers and stars that appear on the very early U.S. were punched into the die with individual tools. For that reason the spacing between the devices varies from one die to another.

This 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar is a well-known variety among specialists. An interesting feature of this die is that the "7" in the date was punched over a "1." When the die maker, who was probably Robert Scot, was punching in the date, he used the "1" twice. This is really only visible with a strong glass, but it is an interesting feature that reflects how the dies for these early U.S. coins were made.

John, I froth at the mouth over 18th century US coinage. I have to say.... This has got to be the finest 1795 dollar that I have ever laid eyes on. Granted, I haven't seen many, but this one takes the cake. Absolutely stunning coin, sir!

Wow, it never ceases to amaze me how some coins from the 1790's- early 1800's can get MS-60 and up, it would basically have to sit untouched in a bank or somewhere like it for 200+ years, that's just incredible, Awesome coin btw!!

I agree. I can’t understand grading for 200 year old coins. Let’s grade a 1652 Ma. Shilling

Thanks for the complement. It’s not a new purchase. I bought that coin in 2007 at an Early American Coppers convention. Since the market has dropped on coins like that, it has turned out to be a bad investment.
