About the 2024 Flowing Hair Medal

This 2024-(P) Silver 230th Anniversary Flowing Hair Medal comes with a Flowing Hair label and has been graded MS70, which means it’s in pristine, flawless condition. Now, this isn’t just any ol’ coin — it’s a modern commemorative honoring the style of our nation’s first silver coins.

The Flowing Hair design originally adorned some of the very first U.S. silver coins back in the late 1700s, symbolizing liberty and the fresh spirit of America just gettin’ started. This medal keeps that spirit alive, combining history with that beautiful gleam of silver.

The Morgan Silver Dollar Connection

Now, while this here medal draws on that Flowing Hair inspiration, it’s got a kinship with the famous Morgan Silver Dollar. Named after George T. Morgan, who designed it, the Morgan Dollar was struck from 1878 to 1904 and then again in 1921. Folks just can’t get enough of these classic silver coins — they’re real crowd-pleasers for collectors across the U.S.

Design Details and Specs

This particular medal shows off some real neat features. On the front, or obverse, you’ll see a profile of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap with “Liberty” written on her hair band. Surrounding her are the words “E Pluribus Unum,” the year it was issued, and thirteen small stars representing the original colonies. It’s a mighty fine tribute to our country’s roots.

Flip it over to the reverse, and you’ll find a bald eagle clutchin’ an olive branch and a bundle of arrows. Encircling this proud bird are the words “United States of America,” “One Dollar,” and “In God We Trust.” The edge is reeded, giving it that classic texture that coin folks appreciate.
