1864 Seated Dollar, MS65+
Tied for the Second Finest Certified

1864 $1 MS65+ PCGS. CAC. The High Date obverse has the date above center, identifying circulation strike examples of the 1864 Seated dollar. Proofs have the date vertically centered, and slightly right of center horizontally.

There were four deliveries of 1864 silver dollars during the year, amounting to 30,700 coins. The deliveries were dated January 13 (5,700), April 30 (2.000), May 17 (8,500), and July 29 (14,500). These coins did not circulate, and were hoarded domestically or exported in payment of overseas goods.

Among the 30 PCGS-certified Mint State 1864 Seated dollars are nine graded MS65 and one graded MS66. The nine MS65 examples include two certified as MS65+. When the Plus-designation is considered, this example is tied for the second finest that PCGS has examined. NGC has seen eight submissions graded MS65, none with additional designations (2/15).

In all grades, we have handled 118 Seated dollars of 1864, including 10 graded MS65. Those 10 coins represent about five or six different examples. This is only the fourth time that we have offered a PCGS certified MS65 example of this conditionally rare Seated dollar issue. The previous appearances were in 1993, 2007, and 2009. Here is an extremely important opportunity for the connoisseur.

This sharply detailed Gem exhibits satiny silver luster and delicate splashes of champagne toning on both sides. The highly appealing surfaces display reflective fields and satiny devices. A few scattered field marks may aid identification of this piece in past and future auction offerings.
