The 1795 $1 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar, graded PCGS F-15 (BB-27, 3 Leaves), is a cornerstone of early American coinage. Designed by Robert Scot, it showcases Liberty with flowing hair on the obverse and an eagle within a wreath on the reverse. PCGS has graded 5 as F15 with 58 finer. PCGS states that the mintage for BB-27 was 16,029.
In F-15 condition, this coin exhibits significant wear but retains legible details, including Liberty’s hair strands and the eagle’s outline and feather details. The BB-27 variety is distinguished by its three-leaf wreath, a subtle yet significant marker for collectors. Despite circulation, its historical design as the first U.S. dollar makes it a valuable numismatic artifact.
Ron Guth writes, “BB-27 is one of several varieties of 1795 Silver Dollars that comes occasionally with a silver-plug at center. Experts believe the center plug was used to bring an underweight planchet up to the government standard. Upon striking, the plug was smashed and became an integral part of the coin, though sometimes a thin seam can be seen around much or all of the plug's circumference.”
