Mint State 1850 Seated Dollar Rarity

1850 $1 MS62 PCGS. This issue begins a string of elusive Seated Liberty dollars. With the single exception of the 1859-O issue with many kept in Treasury Vaults for over a century, every issue of the decade is an elusive rarity. Just 7,500 were minted, and only two or three dozen of those survive in MS60 or higher grades. Most of those are just MS60. In his Silver Dollar Encyclopedia, Dave Bowers estimated a total population of three to six examples in MS63 or higher grade, and just 10 to 20 in grades from MS60 to MS62. As usual for the few that exist, the surfaces of this specimen are prooflike, beneath heather and iridescent toning. A few minor flaws keep this from the extremely rare MS63 category. This is an acquisition opportunity that the specialist will not want to miss. Population: 7 in 62, 5 finer (9/04).(#6937) (Registry values: N4719)
