1795 Flowing Hair Dollar 3 leavesSold

Robert Scot’s Flowing Hair design represents the birth of the United States silver dollar. Minted only in 1794 and 1795, these impressive silver pieces carried the weight of a young nation’s mercantile ambitions. The design, featuring Liberty with loose, unbound hair, remains one of the most evocative images in American numismatics.

This 1795 example features the three leaves reverse variety, distinguished by the trio of leaves beneath the eagle’s wings. Certified as Very Good 10 by PCGS and verified by CAC, it represents a remarkably honest survivor. Early dollars were workhorses of commerce, and finding one with even wear, clear major details, and the coveted green sticker is a rare pleasure.

A Flowing Hair dollar is a cornerstone for any serious collection of early American coinage. This piece offers a tangible link to the Federalist era, presenting a wholesome representative of our first national dollar that fits comfortably into a historically minded cabinet.
