Design and Specifications of the 1795 Half Dollar
The 1795 Half Dollar was one of the first silver coins produced by the newly established United States Mint. It represents a crucial piece of early American numismatic history. This coin features the Flowing Hair design, which was used for only two years (1794-1795) before being replaced by the Draped Bust design in late 1795. As one of the earliest half dollars ever minted, it holds significant historical and numismatic importance.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
Condition plays a crucial role in the value of 1795 Half Dollars. Due to their age and limited production quality, high-grade specimens are extremely rare and valuable. Coins in VF (Very Fine) condition or better are highly sought after by collectors.
The strike quality can vary significantly among these early coins, with well-struck examples commanding premium prices. Original luster is rarely seen but highly prized when present. Natural toning can also enhance the coin’s appeal and value, particularly if it’s attractive and even.
Philadelphia, No Mint Mark
Mintage: 299,680
Rarity Scale: Rare
Circulation Status: Limited Circulation
Preservation Rarity: Extremely rare in grades MS60 and above
Varieties Errors: Two Leaves, Three Leaves (below eagle's wings)
Market Demand: High, due to historical significance and rarity
The Two Leaves and Three Leaves varieties refer to the number of leaves below the eagle’s wings on the reverse. The Three Leaves variety is rarer and typically commands a higher premium.
Die state can also impact value, with early die state examples often being more desirable. Provenance can significantly increase value, especially if the coin can be traced to a famous collection or has been featured in important auctions.
As one of the earliest U.S. silver coins, the 1795 Half Dollar is highly valued by type set collectors and early American coin specialists, which contributes to its strong market demand and value.
