Lot Title: 1795 BB-27 B-5 3 Leaves. SEGS AU-58.
Description: 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 lower right obverse rim. At any rate, there is no question the coin has been lightly cleaned, and some rainbow toning along the obverse periphery is possibly artificially applied, though by no means is it unattractive. These peculiarities are not specified on the slab label. The reverse is somewhat nicer, appearing nearly original with just a sampling of the rainbow tones along the right side. At any rate, this is a very well-struck coin from the standpoint of early dollars, and disclaimers and slab aside, connoisseurs of the series should not ignore this opportunity to obtain a strongly defined example.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

712The 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...
713The 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,...
714The 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...
715The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$3,300.00
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...
757The 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...
619The 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. ...
769The 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...
770The 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...
566The 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...
567The 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...
531The 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...
532The 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...
473The 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.
474The 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.
538The 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,...
646The 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...
647The 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...
708The 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...
709The 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...
711The 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...
646The 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. ...
