|
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,... |

|
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... |

|
1795 3 Leaves (B-5, BB-27) NGC XF details/repaired.
|
|
NGC's "repaired" disclaimer may have been provided in reference to some tooling in the extreme upper-right quadrant of the reverse, between "OF AM", although it almost has the appearance of mere... |

|
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... |

|
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. ... |

|
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... |

|
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... |

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... |

|
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... |

1795 3 Leaves, Head of '95 (B-5, BB-27, R.1). PCGS VF-30.

|
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,... |

|
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... |

|
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... |

|
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... |

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... |

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... |

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. ... |
