I hope so too. If it does, it will be a real winner. B-5 (r-1), I believe. Unmistakeable die scratch. Very nice and looks like it should carry a pretty high grade. The hair didn't have a lot of detail.
Edited to add I would not argue with a grade of 35 if it looks nice in hand.
This variety tends to come with a flat strike which limits the amount of hair detail. Still my grade would lower down the VF scale than the NGC grade, but I'm from the old school. The variety with the "bar" in back of the head of Ms. Liberty is the most common among the 1795 Flowing Hair dollars. It is a nice coin, although I'm not sure the white balance is correct in the photo. The piece looks to be a little to "yellow."
Here is a piece I once owned of the same variety. NGC called this one EF-40. My grade was VF-30. My piece had adjustment marks, and that made it harder to sell when the time came to let it go.
For a comparison of the next grade up, here is a PCGS EF-40.

Most varieties of this type tend to have flat strikes. The EF-40 I posted looks like a higher on some parts of the coin, but the hair detail holds it back.

@Grip- Very nice FH $. Did you buy it from Wayne T?
A 1795 FH $ has been on my wish list and I noticed he had a few on his site. VF was a bit out of my range but I found a F15 that I could not pass on recently. Your FH is one sweet coin! Congrats!
