PCGS 1850 AU 53. Open 5. A rare Seated dollar that is usually only seen in VF or XF condition, and is quite elusive in strict AU grades. Only 7,500 business strikes were produced, probably a result of the mint's promotion of the new gold dollar and the rising price of silver. This is a very clean coin for the grade, and one that is toned in multiple shades of blue, golden, and rose colors. The surfaces are brighter and the coloration more vivid on the obverse than the reverse. The striking quality is somewhat irregular with the stars on the right of the obverse being flat but those on the left fully struck. An important coin for the specialist.
