Flowing Hair Dollar 1794-1795 One Dollar MS Values
Details
Very popular two-year type coin with the benefit of also being a silver dollar, so demand generally exceeds supply. The 1794 is rare so the only collectible issue is dated 1795.
Obverse: The original design of Liberty, facing right, with hair flowing as if facing a slight breeze. 8 and 7 stars on the left and right periphery, respectively with the word LIBERTY across the top and the date positioned in the bottom center.
Reverse: A small eagle standing on branches surrounded by olive branches that are tied in a bow at the bottom. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around the periphery. No denomination is mentioned.
