Impressive 1868 Dollar, MS64

1868 $1 MS64 NGC. CAC. The 1868 dollar is rarer than its 162,000 piece business strike mintage would seem to indicate. David Bowers, in his Silver Dollars and Trade dollars of the United States, indicates that many, if not most were exported, accounting for their relative rarity today. Indeed, perusal of the NGC/PCGS population data show 40 Mint State coins, a number of which are undoubtedly resubmissions.
Whispers of electric-blue, purple, and russet toning concentrate at the margins of this near-Gem specimen, and an impressive strike imparts virtual completeness to the design features. Luminous surfaces reveal just a few minute marks that preclude Gem status. Census: 5 in 64, 5 finer (7/08).(Registry values: N4719)
