1879 $4 Flowing Hair Stella NGC PF55

Among Legends. A Top 100 U.S. Coin. 

Among the most Affordable Available. 

Only 425 Minted.

It’s one of the most intriguing masterpieces of the United States Mint and one of the most coveted design types ever created. The Flowing Hair Stella. It’s a dream come true for any astute collector looking to find one, about as liquid as cash and always under insatiable demand.
A mere 425 examples were produced and a great many of the examples that weren’t melted or lost to the ages come heavily impaired. It’s really not unusual at all to see a damaged Stella in a sale bring near six-figure money level, thus any available Stella carries a significant price of admission. That’s just how coveted they are.
After striking, the examples were given to members of Congress and quite frankly, many of them didn’t survive being spent on those members’ vices and many more didn’t survive the rest of history.
A reasonable PF55 offering that will be a highlight in any great collection without completely breaking the wallet to acquire anything better. An immensely respectable coin with a presence that speaks volumes of your collection.
