Description
1871 Seated Dollar, Lightly Toned MS65
Ex: Jack Lee, Mostly Prooflike Fields
1871 $1 OC-5, R.2, MS65 NGC. With slightly more than 1
million coins produced, it is little wonder that the 1871 ranks
among the most available Seated dollars . While numerous coins were
probably exported, enough were produced to guarantee that domestic
economic channels would see their fair share during the 1870s. A
total of 17 known varieties exist for this high-mintage issue and
examples are easily obtained in high grades from AU58 through MS64.
Nonetheless, the 1871 is a condition rarity in the finer Mint State
grades, with two MS66 pieces topping the Condition Census including
all varieties. This MS65 example is the former Jack Lee coin --
last seen at auction some 20 years ago. It remains in its NGC
holder from that appearance. Satin reflectivity displays
champagne-gold color especially at the margins, illuminated by
flashy mint luster. A speckling of reddish-gold accents visits both
sides, with lilac-silver fields surrounding frosted central motifs.
The sharp strike weakens slightly at the upper stars and Liberty's
head, although the reverse is uniformly sharp. A few tiny marks are
entirely consistent with the assigned grade. NGC Census: 5 in 65, 1
finer (4/25).Ex: The Jack Lee Collection, Part III (Heritage, 11/2005), lot 2227.
