1847 Seated Dollar, MS64
Rare at This Grade Level

1847 $1 MS64 PCGS. An impressive and totally original Seated dollar, this Choice Mint State 1847 exhibits satiny pewter-gray surfaces accented by delightful champagne and pale blue patina. Some weakness of the central motifs is evident, mostly along the upper edge of each wing on the reverse.

Population Data (7/14): PCGS reports 11 MS64 and four finer; NGC shows nine in this grade and one finer. None are finer than MS65 at either service.

Heritage Commentary: This issue was produced in substantial numbers for the series, at 140,750 pieces, and ranks among the most plentiful silver dollar issues overall from the 1840s. As with the 1841 and 1843, however, a high mintage does not translate into availability in Mint State; such pieces are scarcely seen in any grade, and Choice or finer representatives are decidedly rare.

Provenance: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2009), lot 1592; purchased from Stack's (1/2011).(Registry values: N4719)
