Description

1847 $1 MS64 NGC. Collectors of No Motto Seated dollars know that the issues usually encountered in Mint State are the 1859-O and 1860-O. Most certified 1847 dollars are in VF to AU grades, and none have been certified above MS65. The current example appears to be a Gem at first glance, since a degree of inspection is required to locate the few small marks on the lowered arm that limit the grade. The reverse is close to flawless, aside from a hint of striking incompleteness on the left (facing) claw. The semi-prooflike fields offer chestnut-gold toning, which deepens slightly to rose and aqua shades near the rims. Census: 10 in 64, 1 finer (2/08).
