1794 Neil-Carter Dollar pics

MSherman

I also posted this at the end of the other thread, but wanted to be sure those of you who've already read that thread didn't miss this.

Whether you believe it is THE first, one of the first, the last, one of the last or smack dab in the middle, I think we can ALL agree that the Neil-Carter dollar is one spectacular coin.

When it was at PCGS last year, John Miller (Wayne's son) and I took a couple of photos, which I thought I'd share with you.

The good news: They're big and high rez, and suitable for desktop use or even a decent sized print.

The bad news: They're big and high rez, and if you ain't got DSL or cable, you may have a wait while they download.

Now those are some detailed pictures! Personally I don't think it is the first struck but no matter what it is a cool coin.

Mike and Jason: Thanks very much for posting the web links and images of that most spectacular Flowing Hair Dollar. That has to be one of the most beautiful coins that I have ever seen. It totally took my breath away.

It's got needle-sharp strike, full mint luster, gorgeous even brown toning and PL surfaces -- my type of Silver Dollar!! But a bit out of my budget... I would settle for a 1795 in that condition for my Flowing Hair Type Dollar

I have saved the images and will print them off on a color printer for reference. WOW!!!!!

Those pics would look great hanging on a bedroom wall, in an office or maybe the den. They would look great anywhere in the house.

I love the color of that coin, the hair on the obverse looks true to life, and the stars on the obverse match the reverse vine, and the berries look like little jewels, awesome, can't wait to see it in person, I will spend much more time on this coin than the Liberty nickels---------------------------BigE

Look at the area at and above the TES of STATES. Is it my imagination, or is it possible that the there are signs of an undertype?

I've seen this coin in person also. It is a very nice coin, but I don't really care for all the current hype surrounding it. As a matter of fact, they were hyping it as the first silver dollar when I saw it last year. And it looks more like an AU to me.

I noticed that the leaf is touching one of the letters, and there seems to be a misplaced berry also on that side-------------------------------------BigE

Nice Flowing Hair Dollar, good condition.

Elli - That seems a bit harsh. The coin is at least VG.
