1795 FLOWING HAIR 50C PCGS MS63

Choice Mint State 1795 Flowing Hair half dollar, Two Leaves variety, certified MS63 by PCGS. The coin is described with very choice iridescent toning and a well-struck appearance, both important for this first half dollar design. Flowing Hair halves were struck during the earliest years of federal silver coinage and are often found heavily worn, adjusted, or impaired. A Mint State survivor carries considerable numismatic weight. The Two Leaves reverse attribution adds variety interest, while the MS63 grade preserves the coin’s early design character. It is a significant representative of the young Philadelphia Mint’s large silver coinage.
