Description
1846 Seated Liberty Dollar, PR62
Richly Toned, Rare Early Proof
1846 $1 PR62 NGC. Prior to 1858, proofs were not coined with
any regularity or with any real plan for distribution, and this
dollar was probably struck at the request of one of the few
collectors of the time or as a presentation piece for some
contemporary VIP.The 1846 proof silver dollar is a true rarity. Bowers estimates only 30-40 were coined, with 15 or so pieces that can be traced today. PCGS suggests 20 to 30 proofs are known. The mirrored fields on this example are quite muted due to the depth of the gunmetal-blue, amber-gold, and gray toning. Several minor marks and delicate lines from handling are noted in the fields on each side. However, these small impairments should not deter a strong bid for this exceedingly rare proof. It is the sole PR62 example at either service. Census: 1 in 62, 11 finer (1/16).(Registry values: N7079)
