Flowing Hair Dollar Mintage

The Flowing Hair Dollar was struck for only two years. During the first year of mintage 2,000 coins were initially struck. Of that number, 242 coins were not releaesd, but melted down due to low quality. This scant mintage of 1,758 coins released was followed by greater production in the following year.

Flowing Hair Dollars remain an important and highly collectible coin series as the first United States Silver Dollar. Despite higher the higher mintage of the second year, higher grade examples from either date are extremely rare.

Below are the mintage figures for the two coins in the series.
