1795 Flowing Hair Silver Half Dollar 50C Coin PCGS G Detail

 

The 1795 Flowing Hair Silver Half Dollar 50C Coin PCGS G Detail, is an iconic and highly collectible piece of early American coinage. This coin, despite showing evidence of wear, retains its historical significance and is a must-have for any serious numismatist. As one of the first silver half dollars produced by the U.S. Mint, it features the original Flowing Hair design that symbolizes the young nation's spirit of liberty and independence.

The Flowing Hair Half Dollar was the first half dollar minted in the United States, produced from 1794 to 1795. Designed by Robert Scot, the obverse depicts Lady Liberty with flowing hair, representing freedom, while the reverse shows a small eagle surrounded by a wreath. This design was quickly replaced in 1796, making the Flowing Hair series particularly rare and highly sought after. The 1795 issue is one of the earliest coins struck by the U.S. Mint, marking an important period in the nation's history as it began producing its own currency. These coins are prized for their connection to America’s early years and their role in establishing the U.S. Mint's legacy.
