2024 NGC MS-70 Early Releases 1 oz US 230th Anniversary Flowing Hair Silver Medal - Flowing Hair Label
The U.S. Mint commemorates the 230th anniversary of the Flowing Hair Dollar, the nation’s first dollar coin officially issued by the federal government on October 15, 1794.
The Flowing Hair Dollar was authorized by the Coinage Act of 1792, which marked a pivotal moment in U.S. coinage history. Robert Scot designed it, portraying a youthful Lady Liberty with flowing hair, hence its name.
With just 1,758 coins minted in its inaugural year, the 1794 issue is rare and holds immense historical and numismatic value. It symbolizes the birth of an independent American monetary system and the young nation's aspirations for economic sovereignty.
This modern silver medal is struck from 1 Troy oz of .999 fine silver and features accurate reproductions of the original obverse and reverse artwork.
SD Bullion offers the 2024 1 oz US 230th Anniversary Flowing Hair Silver Medal purchased from the US Mint within 30 days of its official release. It is graded as an MS-70 sample and sealed in NGC slabs with the Flowing Hair Label.

An NGC MS-70 Early Releases Coin
NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) operates independently of sovereign mints. It evaluates coins using the Sheldon Scale, a grading system from 1 to 70 based on their condition.
According to NGC, “Early Releases” refers to coins purchased from their original mints within the first 30 days of their official release and submitted to its appraisal.
MS stands for Mint State, indicating a coin crafted in the format of a business circulation coin. Since it has never been in circulation, the coin has no flaws, which grants it a 70 grade.
