The Silver Flowing Hair Dollar holds a special place in the U.S. coinage history for a few significant reasons:
- First Dollar Coin. It was the first dollar coin issued by the United States federal government. It was minted in 1794 and 1795.
- Design. The coin features a flowing hair depiction of Lady Liberty on the obverse front, and the small eagle on the reverse back. The flowing hair design was intended to symbolize freedom and liberty,
- Short Mintage. It had a short production period of only two years, making it relatively scarce compared to later dollar coins.
- Rarity and Value. Due to its age, historical significance, and limited mintage, the Silver Flowing Hair Dollar is highly sought after by collectors. The value can range from thousands to millions of dollars, depending on its condition.
- Mint Imperfections. Many of the coins exhibit striking weaknesses and other imperfections, which add to their unique character and charm.
