This 1794 Flowing Hair Dollar is the most valuable silver coin in the world, and it will be on display at the GreatCollections table, Booth 201, at the American Numismatic Association World’s Fair of Money from August 6-10, 2024.
(Irvine, California) – GreatCollections, the official auctioneer of the American Numismatic Association (ANA), will be displaying America's first silver dollar – officially the world’s second-most valuable coin – as part of a $30 million group of trophy coins and banknotes at Booth 201.
Two years ago, the 1794 Flowing Hair Dollar was acquired by GreatCollections for a record $12 million from Las Vegas collector Bruce Morelan. It was the first coin to break the $10 million mark when it was sold at a 2013 auction and is widely believed to be the very first silver dollar struck by the U.S. Mint.
Other rarities on display include the 1861 Liberty Head Double Eagle with Paquet Reverse, the finest of just two known examples, which is valued at over $8.5 million, as well as a superb Proof 1869 Liberty Head Double Eagle, the finest of the dozen known.
“The owners of the 1794 Silver Dollar and 1861 Paquet Double Eagle have graciously allowed us to display their museum-quality trophy coins and notes so they can be enjoyed by as many collectors as possible," said Ian Russell, president of GreatCollections. "Over the past few years, we have displayed about $200 million of major rarities at conventions."
