I wish the book to attribute these wasnt oop, I have been looking for one for a while and the cheapest I can find one is like $750!

Looks like B-1 (or BB-21)

 

 

Until you can find a book I use the Cardinal Collection Educational site.

 

US Die Variety Attribution Guide

What a cool site! Thanks so much for sharing that.

 

Using the wizard, I came up with :

 

BB-16, B-20. R-8.

 

1795 Flowing Hair Dollars

Two Leaves Reverse, Head of ‘94 Portrait

Lowest Hair Curl Nearly Closed/Touching Star 1

19 Reverse Berries, Arranged 9x10

 

What did we do differently?

[michael]

your coin is

 

Variety: BB-21, B-1, R-1

 

 

it IS DEFINATELY NOT BB-16, B-20. R-8.

 

 

YOURS IS HEAD OF 95

[TypeCollector-migration]

My hopes are dashed!

 

The head of 95 "neck loop" is just very hard to see on my coin and that was where I screwed up.

 

Oh well.....At least I got to eat a lot today!

[michael]

you did well with your coin

 

it is an extrrmely popular historical coin and also a decent looking coin with lots of meat left on it

 

i would leave it as is where is in the holder of anx

 

a wonderful hugely in demand always in demand type coin

 

also you got it at an amazing fair price

Is there an Ode to the FH in our future?

[TypeCollector-migration]

Thanks for all the help here. I love that website. I wish there was a VAM website that had the wizard you could go through and find your die varieties. Wouldnt that be a blast?

 

Is there a similar website for Sheldons?

If you can't afford Noyes, get the Breen Encyclopedia of Early United States Cents 1793 - 1814. (But it is getting hard to come by now too.)
