The trials and tribulations in the infancy of all great nations can be easily documented by the early coinage of that nation. The United States of America is no exception. Congress, through the commission of the early Mint Director and Chief Engraver strived to depict the joy of freedom and liberty for which so many had fought by creating coins majestic and noble in appearance. The silver dollar was intended to be the cornerstone of America's coinage and it is with this intention that Robert Scot created his "flowing hair" design. The flowing hair is said to be Scot's symbolism for liberty. A two-year type, the "flowing hair" dollar was only produced in 1794 and 1795. The NGC population for our coin is 9/34 as compared to the PCGS pop of 36/72. Pair this coin with the slighlty less scarce 3 leaf variety we have available for a complete date set! Trends is $15,000 and the CU list is $15,500.
BB-71. The 1797 dollar is elusive in any grade but in the higher circ grades it is rare indeed! Mint State varieties are almost unobtainable as there are only five known to exist. We are offering both diagnostic star varieties, the 9X7 and this coin, the 10X6 stars obverse. Trends for an AU55 coin is $25,000 with the Trends for the higher MS60 coin doubling at $50,000. Basically a white coin with just a hint of rub on the high points as is associated with the grade. Truly a collector's dream!
