1794 Flowing Hair Half Dime, MS-66 (PCGS)
Logan-McCloskey 3, Original Gem

Logan-McCloskey 3 ~ 1 in date under right center of lowest curl. Reverse with two inner berries and one outer berry under left side wing. (Rarity 4).

Unquestionably original and lustrous with faint natural toning that exhibits soft shades of green, gold, and icy blue. The devices are near fully struck with only a few of Liberty's central hair strands not separated, and with all of the eagle's breast feathers well defined but shallow. There are a few long, thin contact lines across Liberty's cheek that are visible under a glass and set the grade.

Provenance:

  • (ANA 8/1996 to Ed Milas and Joe O'Connor for RARCOA, from a European dealer)
