1860 Seated Dollar, MS64
Incredibly Sharp Throughout

1860 $1 MS64 PCGS. CAC. This Choice example exhibits an exceptionally bold strike overall, while dusky lavender-gray, olive-gold, and warm champagne toning blankets radiant luster on both sides. A few small ticks on Liberty's torso and in the right obverse field define the grade, but no other detectable surface flaws appear. A high-end coin for the grade.

Population Data (7/14): Near-Gems total 26 at PCGS with six finer, and 17 at NGC (including one MS64+) accompanied by six finer.

Heritage Commentary: The 1860 Seated dollar issue had a plentiful 217,600-coin mintage. Like many of its predecessors, the silver dollars were intended for export to the Orient to be used in trade. They were never distributed directly to the public from the Mint and were only offered for sale at a cost of eight cents over face value to bullion dealers and others who then ultimately released them into the Oriental trade. Most exported pieces were eventually melted and never returned to collectors.

Provenance: Purchased from Bill Nagle (3/2007).(Registry values: N4719)
