1860-O Seated Liberty Dollar, MS65
None Numerically Finer at PCGS

1860-O $1 MS65 PCGS. Frosty silver luster and sharp design motifs characterize this brilliant Gem, showing delicate gold, golden-brown, and turquoise accents on both sides. The surfaces are exceptional, despite a few trivial surface marks.

Variety: Faint die lines slant down to the left from the bottom of the rock over the 60 in the date. The mintmark is centered over the space between the E in ONE and the D in DOLLAR and tilts slightly to the left. A die crack connects the bottoms of most letters in the legend, missing only UNI.

Population Data (7/14): PCGS reports several hundred Mint State examples of this issue from MS60 to MS64, but only nine Gems including the present piece, and one graded MS65+. The populations are similar at NGC, which shows but eight MS65 and three finer, all MS66.

Heritage Commentary: Most Mint State 1860-O dollars that exist today hail from the U.S. Treasury hoard of silver dollars that was released a half-century ago, in the early 1960s. However, the typical bagmarked example from that source is quite low on the numerical scale, grading MS60 to MS63. Higher-grade pieces remain condition rarities as the population data reveal.
