1794 50C VG10 PCGS

This PCGS Low-Ball 1794 Flowing Hair Half Dollar O-101A would make a valuable inclusion in any collection. Early US coinage is experiencing a resurgence in popularity, and lower graded examples continue to offer affordability. This first year of issue coin played a crucial role in the early US economy, serving as its workhorse for large commerce. While a half dollar might not seem significant today, it was once beyond the reach of many early US settlers. Due to lack of circulation among all classes, less examples were saved.

Despite its age, this coin maintains sharp details and a distinct design, notably highlighted in the intricate depiction of the hair. The raised devices exhibit a pleasing medium gray toning against a light gray background, enhancing their visibility. The date is crisp and well-defined. The wear from circulation appears even across the surfaces in hand, though some minor blemishes are noticed as a testament to its 231 year old example. Technically the details is superb and remniscent of a higher grade. With only 3 examples in MS and 3 noted in AU, the rarity of this offering becomes evident, underscoring its significance. Last sale for $5,280 06/22 ST, two years ago.
