1794 Flowing Hair 50c NGC AU58 Obv

Description

This 1794 Flowing Hair Half Dollar, certified by NGC in AU58 (Obverse), represents one of the earliest and most iconic coins struck by the United States Mint. As the first year of issue for the half dollar denomination, only 23,464 were minted, and far fewer have survived in high grades. The AU58 grade places this coin just below Mint State, displaying only the slightest touch of wear with impressive detail and original luster remaining, especially on the obverse.

The Flowing Hair design, created by Robert Scot, captures the youthful liberty figure with flowing hair, a symbol of freedom and the early spirit of the American Republic. This coin is a cornerstone of U.S. numismatics, combining scarcity, artistry, and historical significance. A must-have for serious type set collectors or those seeking to own a piece of foundational American coinage history.
