1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar


1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar

2 Leaves

Circulation Mintage: 299,680 For All Types
Obverse Text: 1795 | LIBERTY
Reverse Text: UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Five major categories of 1795 half dollars are recognized by PCGS. Three of these represent varieties with interesting mistakes: the 1795/1795 Recut Date with the Two Leaves reverse, the 1795/1795 Recut Date with the Three Leaves reverse, and the variety with A in STATES punched over an errant E. Another of the five categories includes three different die varieties whose obverses depict a distinctive looking head of Liberty called the Small Head. The final category is a catch-all, encompassing 26 different die varieties under the title “Two Leaves,” referring to the number of leaves inside the reverse wreath under each wing of the eagle. Among 1795 half dollars of all of the foregoing categories, just three have been certified as MS-65 by PCGS, two representing the “Two Leaves” category and one additional specimen of the A over E in STATES reverse.
