Description
1859 Seated Dollar, Nicely Toned MS64
Rarely Seen Above AU
1859 $1 MS64 PCGS. CAC. The 1859 Seated dollar is seldom
encountered in Uncirculated grades, yet we have two near-Gems in
this one spectacular auction. PCGS has certified only five other
MS64 coins, and two are finer (12/13). More than a quarter million
dollars were struck, but with so few high-grade survivors known, it
probably is true that most were struck "primarily for export to
China." This is an impressive near-Gem example. The fields are
noticeably bright from die polishing, and enliven the layers of
multiple toning seen over each side. Shades of light rose,
lime-green, and blue are interspersed liberally across the
surfaces, adding considerable visual interest. The strike is well
brought up, but not quite complete, and the only mentionable marks
are a series of tiny ones in the field above the head of the
eagle.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24YX, PCGS# 6946, Greysheet# 7208)
