1794 50c Flowing Hair Half Dollar Overton 101A

I'm at VF-35 as well, Certainly a wonderful coin, though I find the coloring something of a distraction.

Totally out of my realm of knowledge, I was thinking 15 to 20 but now reading the comments.....you got me...

VF(20)?

Everyone seems clustered in the same neighborhood. Purchased it from Gerry Fortin who wrote this description:
First Year Issue, Late Die State, Choice Original Surfaces, Natural Gun Metal Gray-Blue Patina, Accurately Graded, Osprey Collection. First year of issue and Philadelphia mint half dollar production. Only 23,464 half dollars dated 1794 were struck. This example offered original surfaces that are covered with uniform gun metal gray-blue patina with gold highlights on the reverse. Struck from late die state dies and listed as Tompkins Die State 1/5. The die crack near S(TATES) creates shelf metal, and another crack joins (STATE)S to the leaf tip. Under a light source, the bluish gray patina transition to glowing gold and is most pleasing. The date, legends, and other peripheral design elements are strongly rendered, taking into account a normal amount of wear for the grade. Partial curl detail is visible on the obverse while the reverse eagle is moderately stronger with good wing feather definition. A ancient vertical line extends from the eagle's head to the berries below the A. Faint mint-made adjustment marks are noted on the obverse. Accurately graded and freshly reholdered. An important new GFRC offering from the Osprey Collection.

Thanks Coinfrog and to all who contributed your thoughts.

After reading the write up I feel this coin should be viewed in hand...My address is.......

NS building a mega collection....

Nice! a higher grade example of a 1794 half dollar. Scarce as such.
Most are in quite low grade. Congratulations.

You mention that a hoard is rumored to exist - I remember that a fairly large number of 1794 half dollars were released onto the market in 2017 and 2018, and actioned by Heritage. A would guess about 50-100 in total? One collector, Terry Brand had a hoard of about 180-200 specimens from what I have read.

Your example at this higher grade remains quite scarce.
My own example, also an O-101 bought in 1988 when this coin was considered very scarce, not so much

This came in. Further thoughts? Thanks!
