Description
Famously Rare 1851 Seated Dollar
Select Restrike Proof
1851 $1 Restrike PR63 NGC. CAC. Since the 1851 business
strike has a remarkably low mintage of 1,300 pieces, it is
understandable that prodigious demand exists for 1851 proofs. The
proof mintage is unknown, but undoubtedly low. In his 1993 silver
dollar Encyclopedia, Q. David Bowers estimated only 50 to
100 proofs were struck. He describes two different sets of proof
dies. The present specimen is from his first die pair. The obverse
die is identified by a raised and slightly curved line near the
center of the final 1 in the date. The reverse die is distinguished
by a reduction in relief for the first vertical stripe as it
approaches the lowest horizontal line within the eagle's shield.
This example features light chestnut-brown and rose toning that
deepens slightly near the borders. The strike is unimprovable, and
the devices display modest (albeit undesignated) cameo contrast.
