1795 B-5, BB-27 Rarity 1. NGC graded MS-61. A dazzling Mint State example! The surfaces are intensely lustrous and untoned with semi-prooflike fields on both sides. A couple of microscopic adjustment marks on the reverse hardly worthy of mention. A touch soft on the breast feathers as struck, otherwise a case could be made to grade this coin much higher. The lovely smooth planchet shimmers with originality and silvery hues that seem to be lightly frosted on the devices, giving even prettier subtle contrast against the fields. This very impressive and well-preserved specimen of a rather plentiful Red Book variety lies close to the Condition Census for the variety. It is an ideal Flowing Hair Dollar for a Type collector. The reverse has a few identifiable small surface adjustment line (as made during the minting process) that appear in the left half of the design from rim to eagles legs. The smooth luster is very impressive on this side as well. An exceptional strike is noted throughout, with the weak breast feathers showing rounding, as is the norm with few individual feather outlines. The most recognizable aspect of BB-27 is a raised line some call a "die bar" common to all BB-27s and visible at the back of Liberty's hair at the top curl. A Type buyer with sophistication and discernment, someone like our consignor, would be fortunate in the extreme to have this specimen in his Type set. Pop 13; 48 finer . Variety Notes: BB-27 represents one of several varieties with the three-leaves reverse and the Head of '95 obverse. In this case, the portrait of Liberty is in a high-relief rendering on the finished coins. On the obverse, Liberty's lowest curl is open and distant from star one. The reverse displays 13 berries on the wreath, seven on the left branch and six on the right, with three berries beneath the eagle's wing on the left and two berries beneath the wing on the right. Pop 11; 2 in 65 for the 3 leaf variety. The detailed population report listed by die verities shows one BB-27 in 66 as finest for the variety. Estimated Value $50,000 - 55,000.
