Description
1858 Seated Dollar, PR55
Popular Proof-Only Date
1858 $1 PR55 PCGS. OC-P1. Osburn-Cushing Die State a/a.
There are no reliable Mint records for the number of proofs struck
in 1858, other than the fact that it is a proof-only year and that
no business strikes exist. Most estimates suggest around 300 proofs
were made from two die marriages. A die lump on the L of DOL.
confirms the reverse die employed on this example was used to
strike proofs in 1856 and 1857, as well as a few of the rare
Restrike proofs dated 1851 and 1852. The PR55 grade suggests the
coin either circulated briefly or was mishandled. Although the
pale-gold surfaces are busy with light abrasions, there no heavy
marks. A full strike remains in evidence with glimpses of the
original mirrored proof fields. Population: 5 in 55, 92 finer
(5/16).(Registry values: N1)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 252C, PCGS# 7001, Greysheet# 7298)
