1863 Silver Dollar, MS64
Semiprooflike Fields

1863 $1 MS64 PCGS. OC-1, Low R.3. The 1863 Seated Liberty dollar did not circulate to any significant extent. Silver was hoarded during the Civil War when this issue was struck. The small mintage of 27,200 coins is indicative of the lack of commercial need for the date. In later years, hoarded examples of the issue found their way into circulation, but the 1863 silver dollar is a rarity in low or middle circulated grades. Mint State coins are not particularly rare in the context of 1860s Seated dollars, but they are in high demand due to the Civil War-period date and the reputation for scarcity that these issues retain.

This Choice Uncirculated coin is fully struck and displays semiprooflike fields. A subtle blush of light champagne toning graces each side, but the coin is mostly brilliant. Scattered light marks limit the grade but are not individually detracting. Population: 16 in 64 (1 in 64+), 8 finer (6/17).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24Z6, PCGS# 6953, Greysheet# 7212)

Weight: 26.73 grams
