Imposing 1844 Silver Dollar, MS63 PCGS

1844 $1 MS63 PCGS. A well struck and moderately prooflike piece with medium tan-gold and lilac-gray colors. The obverse has a few unimportant marks, and a small area of rough surface, possibly as made, is on Liberty's shoulder. The reverse is splendidly unabraded. As is the case for all business strike 1844 Silver Dollars, the obverse is die doubled and has quad stripes within the shield. The reverse features bold die polishing lines especially prominent below the eagle's wings near the shield, which prompted Breen to list it as the "Armpit Variety" in his 1988 Encyclopedia. The mintage of 20,000 pieces ensures that Mint State survivors are very rare. Population: 5 in 63, 2 finer (9/04).(#6930) (Registry values: N2998)
