Hey everyone,

I’m working on my US Dollar type set and now that I’ve already got the 1799 Draped Bust Dollar I’ve been looking for a 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar.

The reason I want a 1795 FHD is because the 1794 one is just way too expensive for my budget.

I do not need a high grade one and would prefer to buy a lower grade F-15 or VF-20 if possible.

There is no way I could afford an XF or AU one.

Does anyone know any coin dealers looking to sell a low grade 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar?

Thanks!

    But it doesn’t look very reputable or trustworthy so it seems risky.

    I mean $75 for a 1794 FHD? The 1794s are the expensive ones too. They have a much lower mintage than the 1795s.

    Slow down. Study. Look at the Heritage and Stacks archives. Study CoinFacts. Learn about CAC. You’re not at the Kentucky Derby. You have plenty of time to buy the right coin. It’s not a race.

    Well certainly not if you lead a horse to poisoned water.

    Just bought one this week. Finding one that has not been Cleaned or messed with is hard. I probably over paid for this one but it comes with a 85% buy back at any time with a moments notice and I think my Heirs will not get hurt when they sell. I can live with a small lose on my coins I am just trying to avoid 50% losses like I had in the early 2000 on my collection as it was Raw and some lower tier slabs. Thought I was getting some great deals until I was forced to sell out. I am trying to limited future losses if possible. Cheaper is not always better I found out the hard way take your time.![]

    as many of us have learned, if you don't JUMP ON IT the second Gerry posts it, you will lose out. Congrats, that looks like a nice one.

    It took me a couple of years to find the right Flowing Hair Dollar for my collection. Do not be in a hurry.

    I believe they were asking $6999 for a PCGS graded VF35.

    Always loved this coin! Might get a wild hair one of these days and buy one! The ones I really like cost as much as a new car!

    Think of it this way...you are currently asking a bunch of essentially strangers who and where you should buy this coin, so how is that any better than looking at the PCGS owned and run Collectors.com website? That website will list nearly every coin for sale and you can zero in on what interests you and then find out if you want to deal with that particular seller. It is far more efficient and in-depth than asking on a BST thread where you may have a few dozen folks read the post. It's not poisoned water, you simply need to put in some effort and do some homework.

    I didn’t know there was a site for that.
