*Highlight* 1795 3 Leaves BB-27, B-5 Flowing Hair $1 - ***Auction Highlight*** 1795 3 Leaves BB-27, B-5 Flowing Hair Dollar $1 Graded au58 Details By SEGS. HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT - Any Flowing Hair dollar approaching Uncirculated condition is an important numismatic treasure, rare and irresistible for early dollar specialists and advanced type collectors alike. This borderline Mint State coin is struck from the most-available die pair of the series, with surfaces that are attractive and unequivocally sharp -- moreso than many technically Uncirculated pieces we have seen. The diagnostic ”bar” or die line near the highest neck curl identifies the readily available BB-27 die pair. Yet it is the uncommon eye appeal, surface quality, and bold strike that set this coin far above others not only of the variety, but among all near-Mint Flowing Hair dollars.The surfaces are uniformly toned in pleasing shades of brassy-gold, and light-olive shades. A few Stray Marks on the obverse account for the details grade. Significant reflectivity in the fields over both sides. The strike on Liberty's hair strands is average for the BB-27 variety. The portrait is rendered in high relief, where the hair detail normally succumbs to wear or weak strike. The eagle's breast is rounded but not quite as well-struck as the obverse, although the wing, leg, and tailfeather details are sharp. Struck from Bowers Die State III, the die line from the left stem extends to the rim (the usual measure of the die state). A faint die crack travels from the eagle's right shoulder through the nearest pair of leaves to the second T of STATES and to the rim. A small, triangular area in the eagle's right wing is a struck-through anomaly from the early minting process, interesting but not of any real importance. In short, this is an exceptional example in all regards and a prize for the early dollar connoisseur. We expect intense bidding competition when this marvelous Flowing Hair dollar crosses the block.
