Deeply Toned MS64 1843 Seated Dollar
One of the Finest Examples Certified
1843 $1 MS64 NGC. Ex: Eliasberg. The 1843 is a large mintage
Seated dollar with a production of 165,100 pieces. It is curious
that this date is so common in circulated grades and so rare in the
better grades of Uncirculated. When Bowers wrote his dollar book in
1993, he quoted a much earlier article by Bruce Amspacher who
stated (in 1982): "But with a mintage of over 165,000 one (MS65)
has to exist somewhere, doesn't it?" Well, not necessarily. None
have been certified by either of the major services to date (6/08).
In fact, only 11 MS64 coins have been graded by both of the major
services (four by PCGS and seven by NGC).As one would expect from most Seated dollars struck in the 1840s and 1850s, the fields on this piece show a noticeable semireflectiveness. Both sides are deep reddish-gray with a thin accent of blue at the margins. The devices are a bit softly struck. There are no obvious bagmarks on either side of this important near-Gem.
