Elusive Gem 1864 Seated Dollar

1864 $1 MS65 NGC. This is a gorgeous Gem Seated dollar from a rare, low-mintage date in the series. Just 30,700 pieces were produced, in the last full year of the Civil War, when the hoarding of silver coinage was still commonplace. As a result, survivors are scarce at all grade levels. This piece is well struck, with only the slightest trace of weakness apparent on Liberty's head. The lower half of the obverse is untoned and brilliant, with a rich satiny sheen, while an arc of dramatic, deep cobalt-blue and red-brown toning occupies the upper obverse. The reverse shows a more uniform coating of electric-blue and charcoal-gray coloration. Both sides are well preserved and free of any noteworthy distractions. Census: 8 in 65, 0 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N7079)
