Verify the attribute

WondoWondo Posts: 2,916 ✭✭✭
There is a Flowing Hair Dollar on eBay that is slabbed NGC BB-20 . I looked up the die marriage by picture in Reiver's book and I come up with the fact that he has it designated B-2 (his numbering) and it is only a Rarity 1. The ebay auction intimates relative scarcity ( which the NGC designation is!). Can someone verify the attribute for me. I have only one book and am inexperienced in this field. Is BB-20 (Bowers & Borckardt) the same as Reiver's B-2. Thanks.

  • Wondo, if it's any help to you it is listed in NGC's Variety Book as Scarce. BB-20 image

    Can anyone attribute this and give me the relative scarcity to the other varieties please?

    Scare is a relative high pop for Flowing Hair dollars - yes/no?

    According to Bower's book, BB20 is aka B-2 and H-2.

    Hope that's what you wanted.

    DAM,

    Thank you. That's exactly what I am looking for. It was kinda neat to see a coin and be able to attribute it to the proper variety. I hope I don't strain a muscle patting myself on the back!

    Thanks again!!
    The real point is that even though NGC has attributed very few, this type should not get a variety premium if we are correct!
