coins \ Coin \ United States of America \ $1 (One Dollar) \ Flowing Hair Dollars \ 1799
The Flowing Hair Dollar, minted in 1794 and 1795, represents the first silver dollar coin issued by the United States and features a depiction of Lady Liberty with flowing hair on the obverse, while the reverse displays an eagle. The later issues, particularly the 1799 Flowing Hair Dollar, are highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and rarity. These coins are composed of 90% silver and were part of the early American efforts to establish a national currency system. The 1799 date is especially notable as it is one of the last years for the Flowing Hair design before it was replaced by the Draped Bust design.
