Description

1860-O Seated Dollar, MS65
Conditionally Rare as a Gem

1860-O $1 MS65 NGC. OC-6, R.2. As anyone who is remotely aware of 19th century type coins knows, the 1860-O dollar is one of the two most common dates available in Mint State in the entire series. Several bags of this date surfaced in 1962, and since that time, it has remained as one of the most available (and usually most attractive) Seated dollars in lower Uncirculated grades. But it must be understood that it is only in these lesser grades that the 1860-O is a common issue. This is a stunningly beautiful coin. It resembles all other Mint State 1860-O dollars with its bright, partially reflective surfaces, but here the similarities end. What it lacks are the numerous, and oftentimes distractingly large, bagmarks seen on most dollars of this issue created by residing for a century in a mint sewn bag. There are a few small, inconsequential marks on each side, but the only flaw that deserves individual mention is a small milling mark in the reverse field above the eagle's neck. While primarily a brilliant coin, the borders are touched with just the slightest hint of pinkish-golden color, but this really does little to alter the perception of this dazzling coin as brilliant. Of singular importance to the date or type collector. Census: 9 in 65, 3 finer (2/23).
