Flowing Hair Dollars are coins that many collectors dream of owning in any condition, or any price range for that matter. I love the Flowing Hair design and wish we got dimes and quarters with it too. The flowing hair symbolized freedom, which makes it funny to me that we dropped that symbolism so quickly because we felt we needed to "improve" the design to something more ornate and traditional after 1-2 years. I get why many see Draped Bust as an improvement, but this just makes Flowing Hair coins more special to me--the misunderstood and underappreciated exercise in symbolism that kicked off our copper and silver coinage in the USA. I was ecstatic when I got my Flowing Hair dollar, and fully accept that I may never be able to upgrade mine. Just having one, though, feels like an accomplishment. I am glad you feel proud of your "ugly baby." Many, many collectors must envy it.
