1795 Flowing Hair. B-4, BB-14. Head of ’94. Hidden Star, 2 Leaves. Rarity-3. AU-53 PCGS.

The obverse of this sharp and essentially mark-free Flowing Hair dollar is largely golden-gray though the viewer’s left side of the coin is deeply toned in wine-blue; the reverse is medium steel-gray with bursts of orange and blue iridescence here and there. The last obverse star is below the tip of Liberty’s bust, hence its “hidden” designation. ANR’s cataloger noted the following about this variety, and this coin in particular: “Only two Mint State examples have been discerned by careful research, and this piece ranks a very close third, having been graded Mint State in the Flannagan sale and listed as third best by both Bowers and dollar researcher David Perkins. The only better ones are the Parmelee-Carter coin (PCGS MS-62), and the October 1990 Superior coin (NGC MS-62).” If this information has changed in the 15 years since the ANR presentation, it certainly won’t have changed by much – this is no doubt still a Condition Census example of the variety.
