2024 Flowing Hair High Relief Gold Coins: A Tribute to the Iconic 1794 Silver Dollar

Stack's Bowers Galleries is proud to announce a landmark auction of modern numismatic rarities. On Thursday, December 12, 2024

Modern numismatic rarities will take center stage in a landmark auction announced by Stack’s Bowers Galleries. On Thursday, December 12, 2024, the auction house will present a collection of 2024 Flowing Hair High Relief Gold coins, commemorating the 230th anniversary of the iconic 1794 Flowing Hair silver dollar.

A tribute to the original 1794 silver dollar, the 2024 Flowing Hair High Relief Gold coins serve as a testament to America’s first silver dollar. Designed by Mint Chief Engraver Robert Scot and produced under the direction of Mint Director David Rittenhouse, the 1794 dollar marks the beginning of a new economic era.

With fewer than 150 examples of the original 1794 silver dollar known to exist today, these coins are among the most sought-after in the numismatic world. Stack’s Bowers Galleries has handled and auctioned a significant number of these historic coins, including the record-breaking sale of the first 1794 dollar struck, which sold for over $10 million.

Highlights of the 2024 Flowing Hair Gold Coins

The first 230 coins in this commemorative series will be offered in the upcoming auction, each featuring a “230” privy mark to denote their historic significance. Struck by the West Point Mint in 1 ounce of .9999 fine gold, these coins showcase a meticulous redesign of the original Flowing Hair motifs, skillfully re-sculpted by medallic artists at the United States Mint.
