1851 Seated Dollar, PR64 Cameo
Formidable Series Rarity

1851 $1 Restrike PR64 Cameo PCGS. CAC. OC-P3, Low R.6. A mintage of 1,300 circulation strikes makes the 1851 one of the most formidable rarities in the Seated dollar series. A small number of proofs were also struck, perhaps 75 pieces in total, possibly all of which were restrikes manufactured after 1851. Seateddollarvarieties.com estimates that 45 or so proofs exist and identifies coins from three confirmed die pairs. This is an example of OC-P3, the most "collectible" variety with 25 examples believed extant. Diagnostics include the centered date, the mostly finished area under Liberty's chin, and die lumps in the lower left wing feathers. The reverse die was first used to strike proofs in 1859.

This near-Gem proof is delicately toned with mostly silver surfaces showing a thin blanket of golden color that includes occasional blue and violet accents. Every design feature is fully struck, as expected, with the frosted relief elements producing lovely Cameo contrast against the flashy fields. Population: 1 in 64 Cameo, 1 finer. CAC: 1 in 64, 2 finer (10/22). Ranked #81 on the List of 100 Greatest US Coins.
