1842 Seated Dollar, MS64
Semiprooflike No Motto Type Coin

1842 $1 MS64 PCGS. Unlike many later issues which were apparently used solely in foreign trade or melted by bullion dealers, the 1842 Seated dollars did circulate to some extent in American commerce. This, combined with a mintage of more than 184,000 coins, makes this issue one of the more plentiful No Motto type coins in circulated grades. Mint State coins, by comparison, are scarce, but remain more available than such examples of most other dates from this decade. Still, the finest 1842 Seated dollars known fall short of Gem quality. This MS64 example is a condition rarity, and is among the finest certified of the date. Liberty's head and figure are sharp and the stars show complete radial lines. The eagle's talons and plumage are well-struck, although a touch of weakness appears at the upper edge of the left (facing) wing. A minimally abraded coin with semiprooflike fields and champagne-gray toning. Population: 19 in 64 (1 in 64+), 0 finer (8/15).(Registry values: N4719)
