Flowing Hair dollar

1794 Flowing Hair silver dollar, Philadelphia Mint. The first silver dollar of the United States was made on a single day of production, October 15, 1794, on a hand-turned screw press, and only 1,758 were delivered. Estimates of survivors run from about 140 to 200. Nearly every one is softly struck at the left side of the border, so a coin like this, with Liberty's wild, wind-swept hair, the ring of stars and the date all clearly readable, is the kind collectors chase.
