Description
1845 Seated Dollar, PR64 ★
Exceedingly Rare, Stunning Eye Appeal
1845 $1 PR64 ★ NGC. Fantastic, breathtaking patina amid
glowing luster is the hallmark of this Star-designated near-Gem NGC
proof 1845 Seated dollar, a top-drawer survivor from the original
mintage estimated at 15 to 25 proof coins. This is an example of
the first variety enumerated in Bowers' Silver Dollar
Encyclopedia (the one usually seen), showing prominent doubling
or repunching on the 84 in the date. A lesser degree of repunching
shows on the 1 above its bottom serif. The shield point is aligned
left of the upright of the 1 in the date.The surfaces show a thin arc of medium sky-blue patina that hugs portions of the rim on both sides (and providing a halo above Liberty's head), providing an effective foil to the champagne patina that liberally fills the interiors, deepening near the rims to cherry and orange patina. Generous field reflectivity and nicely frosted devices complement surfaces that are free of significant contact. A small inverted V-shaped mark near star 1 and a tiny dark spot in the center of Liberty's torso provide pedigree markers. The strike is uniformly sharp throughout both sides and the rims are squared off. Some cameo contrast is noted on each side.
NGC's Star designation is aptly awarded here, to a coin that can have few equals in terms of eye appeal for the assigned grade. The 1845 Seated dollar proofs are exceedingly rare, making the present offering an important and exciting one. Census: 3 in 64 (1 in 64 ★ ), 6 finer (8/15).
