NGC Special Labels and Designations for the 2024 230th Anniversary Flowing Hair High Relief Gold Coin
Posted on 11/11/2024
On November 14, 2024, the US Mint is releasing the 2024 230th Anniversary Flowing Hair High Relief Gold Coin, which pays homage to America’s first dollar coin: the Flowing Hair Dollar that was first issued on October 15, 1794. Struck at the West Point Mint, the 2024 Proof gold coin has a product limit of only 17,500 and serves as a companion to the 2024 230th Anniversary Flowing Hair Silver Medal, which was released on October 15.
To complement the coin, Numismatic Guaranty Company® (NGC®) is offering a selection of special labels, including one showing the coin in front of an American flag, as well as the ever-popular NGC Early Releases and First Releases labels. For show submissions of these coins, click here.

The obverse portrays a reproduction of the first dollar coin ever struck by the US Mint, which shows a portrait of Lady Liberty facing to the right. Her image is surrounded by 15 stars, representing the 15 states that had ratified the Constitution by 1794. Originally designed by Robert Scot, the US Mint Chief Engraver from 1793 to 1823, this modern anniversary rendition's obverse was resculpted by John P. McGraw.
The coin's reverse also stays faithful to the 1794 original. Resculpted by Eric David Custer, the coin features a laurel wreath surrounding an eagle with spread wings in the center, which is an early predecessor to the American heraldic eagle.
