1795 Flowing Hair Half Dime. . LM-10, V-4. NGC graded MS-66. Star. Lovely rainbow toning on both sides. A beautiful coin. The variety is confirmed by the presence of a single outer berry below the eagle's left (facing) wing. Die cud over TY and adjacent star. A superlative gem specimen of this Flowing Hair type, one of the handsomest, original toned Flowing Hair half dimes we have had the pleasure to offer in our sales. There is everything satisfying and positive to report here! A coin with soul: The obverse exhibits deep steel-with-blue toning, iridescent as well as attractive, which changes to still deep and saturated russet & purple toward the center before yielding to full-strength silvery brightness. A very pleasing balance of colors. The luster is impeccable, as well, with thorough satiny cartwheel on both sides. The strike is bold enough to impress us and then some. This includes all of Liberty's hair strands which stand out forcefully except for the lowest curl. For its part, the eagle sports much of its feathers but for there are a few missing ones at the absolute center and on the upper wings. The eye appeal is dramatic. Careful scrutiny reveals the immaculate surfaces one would expect for the MS66 grade. Pop 2; 6 finer. Estimated Value $55,000 - 60,000. Categories:
