I have a 1795 flowing hair half that is a very choice almost good grade. The date is completely unreadable due to strike. Will PCGS holder this coin?
This coin's obverse main device has much, much stronger details than my VG graded example of the same date.

    I think they will, but I am not a specialist in the area of Bust halves.

    Is is an O-110 or O-110a variety, by chance?

    I think I've seen this variety in PCGS holders with the variety designated in order to ID the date.
    I have an O-110a in AG-3 but scratched from ANACS and it would/should have gotten into a PCGS slab if it weren't for the light scratches.

    They must be able to determine the date. Apparently you can. --Jerry

    I am not sure which variety it is. I bought the coin from Larry briggs this weekend. Larry had it marked just as a just a 1795 with no variety number.

    I don't know how to tell the difference, but Larry Briggs had it marked as a 1795. It must have some die characteristic or lack of that Larry noticed.

    I have wondered the same thing. Here is mine -- note that this is my coin, not the OP's coin, but it has basically the same issue. I don't really care whether it is in plastic now, but I am aware that when or if I decide to sell, it might be helpful to have it holdered.

    That's a nice lookin' dateless FH!! Overton is at home but should not be too tough to determine variety and date.
