Half Dollars
![]() 1795 Flowing Hair Half Dollar 13.48 grams; .8924 silver; 32.5 mm |
The first United States half dollars, minted in December 1794, were of the flowing hair design by Robert Scot. This style, which was continued in 1795, matched that used on the half dimes and dollars of the same dates . . . Among early half dollars, the first year of issue, 1794, is elusive in all grades . . . Half dollars of the early years have formed the object of several important studies and references, including M. L. Beistle's Register of United States Half Dollar Varieties and Sub-Varieties and Al C. Overton's Early Half Dollar Varieties 1794-1836
