712 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014 | $2,000.00 |
1795 3 Leaves (B-5, BB-27) PCGS GD-6.
|
VG-8 in our opinion, as PCGS was clearly too conservative, perhaps ignoring the presence of some actual feather details in the eagle's wings. A single abrasion at his neck appears to be the only... |
|
713 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014 | $2,500.00 |
1795 3 Leaves (B-5, BB-27) PCGS VF details/cleaning.
|
Obvious signs of cleaning are assuredly the root cause of the glossy overtones seen across each side, but some effort has been made to tone down excessive brightness. Well detailed as expected of VF,... |
|
714 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014 | $3,900.00 |
1795 3 Leaves (B-5, BB-27) NGC XF details/repaired.
|
Exceptionally dark on the obverse, the reverse features much similar ebony-flat patina fading toward ochre-grey nearer the center. NGC calls attention to a "repair", which seems to be a crude... |
|
757 | The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013 | $8,500.00 |
1795 (BB-27, B-5) 3 Leaves NGC XF-40.
|
The quality can only be called "spectacular" from the standpoint of vintage, crunchy original surfaces and exceptionally attractive military grey toning in the fields, substantially accented by the... |
|
619 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $3,400.00 |
1795 (B-5, BB-27) 3 Leaves. VF.
|
Pulled directly out of a consignor's album type collection, this B-5 represents THE common die marriage for the 1795 flowing hair dollar, and therefore almost always serves as a type example. ... |
|
769 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011 | $1,000.00 |
1795 (B-12, R.5+) 3 Leaves. VG details/cleaned/obverse scratch/rim...
|
One point from the first star penetrates the lowest curl and rapidly narrows down attribution to B-12, recognized as a rare die-marriage, and this is an early die-state example. There are no... |
|
770 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011 | $7,750.00 |
1795 3 Leaves (BB-27, B-5, R.1). NGC XF-40.
|
BB-27 is THE common flowing hair bust dollar and always suitable for type, and that is particularly true of this specific specimen, simply because it has some of the nicest, richest patina one could... |
|
566 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $3,500.00 |
1795 3 Leaves, "Head of '95" (B-5, BB-27, R.1). PCGS F-15.
|
Many collectors will almost automatically select B-5 as the die marriage of choice for type purposes for 1795, since it is easily the most common available. For any nicer middle-grade set, this... |
|
567 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $5,750.00 |
1795 3 Leaves, "Head of '95" (B-5, BB-27, R.1). PCGS VF-30.
|
So many early silver dollars have been cleaned or processed that, unfortunately, cynical collectors often approach the series with low expectations, and the unexpected appearance of a fully original... |
|
531 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010 | $3,500.00 |
1795 3 Leaves, Head of '95 (B-5, BB-27, R.1). PCGS F-15.
|
The pearl-grey medium contrast obverse surface offers only a little variation between fields and devices, while the reverse is virtually monochromatic. As the most common 1795 die-marriage, B-5 is... |
|
532 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010 | $5,500.00 |
1795 3 Leaves, Head of '95 (B-5, BB-27, R.1). PCGS VF-30.
|
There are so many cleaned and processed bust dollars that, sadly, one must approach the series with low expectations, and the unexpected appearance of a fully original coin is the rare and coveted... |
|
473 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $1,450.00 |
1795 3 Leaves. VG.
|
Though well worn, there is something always humbly charming about an old bust dollar that has seen great service. Not absolutely original, but this is a highly attractive coin for the VG-8 grade. |
|
474 | The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009 | $500.00 |
1795 3 Leaves, Head of '95 (B-5, BB-27, R-1) VG Details/holed.
|
B-5 is a very common variety, but that doesn't necessarily lessen the tragic consequences of a prominent hole at 12:00 of the obverse. A fully original coin otherwise. |
|
538 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $2,500.00 |
1795 3 Leaves (B-5, BB-27, R.1) Flowing Hair silver dollar, F.
|
Coal-tar-dark patina thickly layers this entire bust dollar, relieved at the high points by tobacco-gold accents. It is practically impossible to ever know for certain the origin of a coin's patina,... |
|
663 | The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007 | $14,750.00 |
1795 BB-27 B-5 3 Leaves. SEGS AU-58.
|
It is possible that an ill-advised attempt has been made to conceal a lengthy defect in the right obverse field, which has the appearance of a rough streak of metal extending from Liberty’s eye to the... |
|
646 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007 | $1,750.00 |
1795 3 Leaves B-6, BB-25, R-2. VF Detail, Cleaned.
|
Virtually all of the feather details in both of the Eagle’s wings are visible, with the only softness being near the upper-central portion of the right (facing) wing. The obverse also displays bold... |
|
647 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007 | $12,750.00 |
1795 3 Leaves B-6, BB-25, R-2. XF-45 Cleaned.
|
Perhaps this "Flowing Hair, Three Leaves" specimen is too conservatively graded. Traces of a delicate cleaning are beginning to diminish with exquisite golden nuances to enhance its silver-gray... |
|
708 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006 | $1,650.00 |
1795 3 Leaves. ANACS Fine Plugged.
|
An overall nice coin with rich, appealing surfaces. The catch is that this coin has been skillfully plugged. It appears there was once a hole where the "E" in Liberty is located. This hole was... |
|
709 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006 | $2,200.00 |
1795 B-5, BB-27, R-1 3 Leaves. ANACS VF-20.
|
Ascribed "VF 20 DETAILS CLEANED" on its grading label, but the evidence of being cleaned is beginning to tone to an appealing pewter hue. Several older scrapes are evident on the obverse in the... |
|
711 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006 | $4,200.00 |
1795 3 Leaves, B-5, BB-27, R-1. PCGS VF-25.
|
This specimen's lavishly toned surfaces are bathed in a pewter-gray enhanced with a gold blush. Observed contact ticks are consistent for the grade. The strike is high in relief since the... |
|
646 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006 | $0.00 |
1795 B-7, BB-18, Rarity-3, 3 Leaves. VF-20.
|
Commendable deep gray surfaces complement this wonderful, early classic issue. One minor rim bruise is observed on the reverse at 6 o'clock, as well as a few other scattered minuscule rim nicks. ... |
