1795 FH $1 for the Registry Set

I've wanted one of these for some time now. This was my big ticket purchase for the year. It's graded PCGS VF30. I always wonder what transactions these suckers witnessed in their lifetime... maybe part of a land purchase on the wild West frontier (say, near Pittsburgh)? The images are by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

    Part of history in many ways I would think.

    I love it! These have come down quite a bit, in my opinion, from their previous prices just less than ten years ago. I think they are a tremendous value.

    Super nice !!

    I like it a lot. Super clean and mark free for the grade in my opinion.

    You are right to wonder about the deals that coi help fund over the years.
    That is why coin collecting is such an amazing pursuit!

    Gorgeous and very original example! My ONLY concern are the dark spots around the perimeter on the reverse. In some cases toning can start to turn terminal and start causing damage to a coin. Again just my opinion.

    Great coin but I think I recognize her from a transaction in Cincinnati in 1805. :D

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    That is absolutely beautiful

  • HigashiyamaHigashiyama Posts: 2,252 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Very nice example! Because the of the design, I think a well struck VF flowing hair dollar can be as desirable as many examples found at much higher grades.

    A well deserved bump, this is- in my opinion "the coin" we all strive to own.
    It doesn't get much better for us mortals.

    What an awesome piece of history! Although I do not really collect US federal coinage anymore, this one is still on my list.
    (And I suspect it will remain on my list for a long time.)
