- The Mint produced only 230 privy-marked coins.
- All were sold in December 2024, at record prices; few have returned to the market since.
- Coin “45” to sell at GreatCollections this September.
A limited run of 230 privy-marked gold coins, produced by the United States Mint to commemorate the 230th anniversary of the 1794 Flowing Hair Dollar, is seeing a return to the secondary market. One of these coins, numbered 45 of 230, is scheduled to be auctioned by GreatCollections this September.
The U.S. Mint’s initial release of these coins, sold in an exclusive partnership with Stack’s Bowers Galleries, made news when they were offered for sale in December 2024. The auction, which sold the entire mintage, realized $8.23 million. The individual coins sold for prices ranging from over $25,000 to a high of $440,000 for the first coin struck.
The 2024 Flowing Hair High Relief Gold Coin is a modern reproduction of the 1794 Flowing Hair Dollar design. It features a high-relief proof finish and an edge inscription that reads “HUNDRED CENTS ONE DOLLAR OR UNIT.” The 230 privy-marked coins were sold in the order of their striking, from 1 to 230.
The coin available for auction is graded PR70DCAM by PCGS and includes its numbered certificate of authenticity, signed by former Mint Director Ventris Gibson. This specific coin, number 45, was initially sold at the auction on December 12, 2024, for $34,000.
Bidding for the coin is currently underway on the GreatCollections website, with the current high bid at $33,500. The auction is scheduled to end on September 7, 2025, at 6:30 PM Pacific Time.
