1 oz Copper Round Flowing Hair Dollar Design

Made in the United States, the one ounce copper rounds were minted at the Osborne Mint; which holds the distinction of being America’s oldest private mint, and has over 30,000 different dies from their more than 250 years in the business.



Originally minted from 1794 through 1795, the Flowing Hair Silver Dollar is the first silver dollar design of the United States. The United States Mint was created by Congress with the passing of the Coinage Act of 1792.



Copper rounds from the Osborne Mint, are satin frosted and polished to give the background a mirror-like finish, similar to the proof finishes of the U.S. Mint. Reeded edges, much like the U.S. quarter, are also a feature of the copper rounds.



Obverse


Shown on the Obverse of the copper round is a 1795 Flowing Hair Silver Dollar design. Appearing with multiple variances for the two years it was minted. Recently a 1795 variety was sold during a Bullowa auction for $1.265 million!



Reverse

On the Reverse of the one ounce .999 copper round is a patriotic image distinct to the Osborne Mint. A waving american flag appears behind a star-and-stripe shield with “USA” inscribed below the image. The purity of the coin is shown above, with the weight appearing below.



Pure copper rounds, like the one ounce .999 Copper Flowing Hair Dollar are sensitive to the oils of the human hand. GMR recommends handling your coins with gloves, or by the edges to avoid staining the surface. Store in a sulfur-free environment, like the pvc tubing, or capsules to ensure the longevity of your investment.
