1846-O Silver Dollar, MS63
First Branch Mint Seated Dollar Issue

1846-O $1 MS63 PCGS. CAC. OC-1, R.2. The 1846-O is the first New Orleans issue of the dollar denomination. It is much scarcer than the 1859-O and 1860-O, especially in Mint State. Despite the status of New Orleans as a leading seaport, the issue was likely struck primarily for domestic purposes. Many examples were likely melted circa-1850 when their bullion value exceeded face. Most survivors are moderately circulated; the median grade at PCGS is XF40. The present coin shows bright, semiprooflike fields, as often seen on high-grade Seated dollars. The reflective surfaces display attractive layers of original autumn-gold, apple-green, and powder-blue toning. All design elements are well-defined, and the surfaces are free of mentionable marks. Population: 8 in 63 (1 in 63+), 4 finer (10/21).
