- With wisps of sandy olive-russet to dominant light golden-gray patina. The strike is nicely centered and well executed, typical of the die pairing, and we note moderate high point wear to define the Choice EF grade from PCGS. A short, thin scratch in the reverse field above the eagle's head is noted for accuracy, but otherwise the surfaces are pleasingly smooth.<p>The second of only two dates in the Flowing Hair silver dollar series, 1795 is the preferred type candidate for the design given the rarity of the 1794 in all grades. Bowers-Borckardt 21 is the second most available die marriage of the issue after BB-27, and examples are particularly popular for type purposes. Extremely Fine examples are somewhat scarce, and AU coins are considerably rarer. A readily attributable die, the obverse of BB-21 exhibits more or less bold remnants of a 1 underdigit beneath the primary digit 7 in the date. This die was also used to strike examples of the BB-22 and BB-23 varieties.
