Description
1851 Seated Liberty Dollar, Unc. Details
Classic Low-Mintage Rarity
1851 $1 --Improperly Cleaned--NGC Details. Unc. The 1851
Seated Liberty dollar is a classic rarity, with a limited mintage
of only 1,300 pieces. The reason for the small mintage was the
wholesale exportation of silver to the Orient that took place in
this time period. It was not useful to coin silver dollars, because
they were immediately shipped off to China instead of circulating
in the U.S. economy. A large mintage of gold dollars helped fill
the gap in 1851.The present coin is an attractive specimen of this sought-after issue, in spite of some noted problems. The obverse surfaces are unnaturally bright, the results of a previous cleaning. The reverse is toned an even blue-steel color. The strike details are sharp throughout, and only minor handling marks are evident.
