Description
1867 Seated Dollar, MS65
Outstanding Gem Specimen
1867 $1 MS65 NGC. OC-1, R.2. Osburn-Cushing Die State a/a.
All business strikes of 1867 dollars have a repunched date,
designated OC-1. The Bowers-Borckardt dollar reference explains the
opportunity presented in the early and mid-1860s for the Seated
dollar in the China trade. The standard Mexican eight reales was
altered during the brief reign of Emperor Maximilian (1864-1867).
His portrait was not widely recognized in the Orient as was the
longstanding Cap and Rays design. This confusion and lack of trust
gave the United States an opportunity to increase its market share
in China, and as a result mintages of silver dollars increased and
many thousands were shipped overseas. However, even though
production increased substantially, few pieces were set aside
domestically, especially in high grade. This Gem displays the usual
bright fields, created by die striations. Each side has an
intermixed golden-rose and gray patina with a blue accent at the
margins. The reverse is sharply struck, but the obverse shows
uniform softness of high point definition. PCGS Census: 3 in 65 (1
in 65 plus), 0 finer (5/25).Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage 6/2012), lot 3962.(Registry values: N7079)
