Additional Description: The 1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar stands among the earliest silver coinage issued by the United States Mint, representing just the second year of half dollar production. Its design, with Liberty’s hair flowing freely across the obverse and a delicate, small eagle framed by a wreath on the reverse, reflects the young nation’s neoclassical ideals and the Mint’s early aesthetic ambitions. In this example, graded in Good condition, the coin shows significant circulation wear, with major design elements worn but still discernible.
