How much is 1795 silver dollar liberty coin worth?
July 6, 2009 There were 2 varities of the 1795 silver dollar, the Flowing Hair Type which was minted in 1794 and 1795, and the Draped Bust Type which was minted from 1795 through 1798. The 1795 Flowing Hair Type has a value of about $1400 on the low end of the circulated scale to in excess of $400,000 in higher uncirculated grades. The 1795 Draped Bust Type has a value of about $1100 on the low end of the circulated scale to in excess of $350,000 in higher uncirculated grades. These early US silver dollars have low mintages and therefore are scarce. It is always a good idea to have a coin such as this certified as being authentic. The prices quoted here are based on certified coins graded through PCGS.

Why did the yazoo fraud occur?
The government of Georgia had been weakened by the Revolutionary War. It was not strong enough to defend settlements in the western part of the state. The Georgia government thought it had found a solution to this problem with the Yazoo land sale in 1795. In the Yazoo land sale, the government planned to sell 35 million acres of land in western Georgia, near the Yazoo River, to four companies for $500,000.

What is the yazoo controversy?
Fletcher v. Peck, 10 U.S. 87 (1810), was a landmark United States Supreme Court decision. It was the first case in which the Supreme Court ruled a state law unconstitutional. In the course of the westward push for the control of Indian lands, the state of Georgia took from the Indians a 35,000,000-acre (140,000 km2) region in the Yazoo River area known as the Yazoo Lands. This land later became the states of Alabama and Mississippi. In 1795 the Georgia legislature divided the area into four tracts. The state then sold the tracts to four separate land development companies for a modest total price of $500,000, i.e. about 1.4 cents per acre, a good deal even at 1790s prices. The Georgia legislature overwhelmingly approved this land grant, known as the Yazoo Land Act of 1795. The case grew out of the 1795 Georgia state legislature's sale of land in the Yazoo River country (in what is now Mississippi) under the Yazoo Land Act of 1795 to private speculators in return for bribes. Voters rejected most of the incumbents in the next election, and the next legislature, reacting to the public outcry, repealed the law and voided transactions made under it. John Peck had purchased land that had previously been sold under the 1795 act. Peck sold this land to Robert Fletcher and in 1803, Fletcher brought suit against Peck, claiming that he did not have clear title to the land when he sold it. The case reached the Supreme Court, which in a unanimous decision ruled that the state legislature's repeal of the law was unconstitutional. The opinion, written by John Marshall, argued that the sale was a binding contract, which according to Article I, Section 10, Clause I (the Contract Clause) of the Constitution cannot be invalidated, even if illegally secured. Today the ruling further protects property rights against popular pressures, and is the earliest case of the Court asserting its right to invalidate state laws conflicting with the Constitution.
