Impressive MS64+ 1842 Seated Dollar
Single Finest at PCGS

1842 $1 MS64+ PCGS Secure. CAC. The 1842 Seated dollar, while an elusive and prized issue, is nonetheless more accessible than many of its peers. Q. David Bowers (1992) sheds some light: "Unlike 1841 dollars, quantities of which are believed to have been exported in the early 1850s, most 1842 dollars were probably used within the borders of the United States." Domestic-bound 1842 dollars were more likely to be saved, as this MS64+ example clearly was. Pastel blue, violet, and orange border-hues on the lustrous obverse take a deeper turn and cover more of the reverse. This is the sole MS64+ example of the issue certified by PCGS with none finer (11/10).(Registry values: N4719)
