  This 1795 Flowing Hair Dollar was in my type set for a numbers of years. How would you grade it? It has a bit of a numistory in that regard.

No "details" grade here. Those are mint caused adjustment marks.

VF25 with nice examples of weight-adjustment marks. Very attractive coin.

Mint blank weight adjustment marks are always parallel. My opinion is that most of the deep 'scratches' are indeed weight adjustment marks, which are evidence of common practice in the era in which these were struck. There a few other deep lines however at an angle of up to about 30 degrees, and perhaps these could be considered to be a deep scratches. Need to be confirmed by a specialist professional numistmatist; I am nowhere expert enough to offer any more of a significant opinion than I alredy have. I agree with other grading opinions in this thread, and I would love to have this coin in my collection.  |

A lot of detail in the stars and the wreath. I'll go with VF-35 or even XF-40.

I think VF-35. The reverse is especially strong which suggests the obverse strike was a bit soft. Nice example, congrats!

Obverse looks VF-30 while the reverse looks EF-40. Is this an issue where you have to grade by the details on one side?
My guess is VF-35.
