Description

1845 Seated Dollar, Sharp PR64
Rare Early Proof, Strong Eye Appeal

1845 $1 PR64 NGC. OC-P1, High R.6. Osburn-Cushing Die State a/a. A Top 30 Variety. The 8 and 4 in the date are boldly repunched, and the date is positioned far to the right. Our research suggests just 15 proofs exist of the 1845, a figure supported by www.seateddollarvarieties.com and by the recent Bowers' Guide Book of Liberty Seated Silver Coins, which suggests 10 to 15 pieces survive. The present variety represents most of the known proofs. A rare obverse die exists with the date positioned farther left and with no evidence of a repunched date, but only two pieces are reported. Both varieties employ the "proof reverse of 1840," with unique markers on the final A in AMERICA that confirm the original proof designation.

This example displays splashes of coppery-gold and pale-blue over mirrored silver surfaces. The reverse is more richly toned than the obverse, but equally attractive. Sharply struck with beautifully wide, square rims, this near-Gem proof shows only a few light lines that separate it from a full Gem designation. Census: 3 in 64, 6 finer (11/17).(Registry values: N7079)
