1794 50C Overton 101 Flowing Hair Half Dollar PCGS MS62
1794 50C Overton 101
SKU: 56537578
An iconic first-year issue of the United States half dollar series, this 1794 Flowing Hair Half Dollar (50C) marries historic significance with true collector appeal. Certified PCGS MS-61 and attributed as Overton-101 (Tompkins T-7), Rarity-3, it represents one of the earliest silver coins struck at the Philadelphia Mint and a cornerstone of early Federal coinage.
Designed by Chief Engraver Robert Scot, the Flowing Hair type showcases Liberty with freely streaming hair surrounded by 15 stars, paired with the delicate Small Eagle within a laurel-and-palm wreath on the reverse. With a modest original mintage of just 23,464 pieces, the 1794 half dollar is prized both as a type coin and for its storied place at the dawn of U.S. silver coinage. Mint State survivors are elusive, making an MS-61 example especially desirable for advanced collections as well as serious type sets.
