Half Dollars-Flowing Hair
Bachelor Simon Collection. Overton-110. Evidence of cracks on either side had not yet occurred when this splendidly detailed example fell off the minting press in the first half of 1795 when all flowing-hair examples were struck, but faint clash marks have already formed above the eagle's shoulder. For type collectors familiar with the challenges of finding a nice 1795, this example features boldly raised rims and dentilation, pleasantly original surface color and adjustment marks limited strictly to the very upper right reverse. A brief pinscratch left of the date blended into the patina decades ago and offers no distraction from steady eye-appeal.

Gold $5-Capped Bust to Left Half Eagle
Bass-Dannreuther-1 (R.5), early dies with no cracks. Perhaps as a result of the use of fresh dies, both sides received delightful sharpness as-struck, and the kind of beckoning luster that is requisite for a choice grade. A mere whisper on each of the eagle's talons could be the only possible indications of a strike that barely missed 100% accuracy. The obverse shows trivial adjustment marks that somehow evade the field and land only on the extreme right edge -- a bona fide perk for the collector who demands a minimum of possible distractions. One tiny copper spot past the fifth star hardly requires mention, but what must be noticed is the decidedly luxuriant eye-appeal that almost seems impossible of 200+ year-old gold coinage.
