1870 $1 MS (PCGS#6963)

June 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1870 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-6. Rarity-2. MS-63 (PCGS). OGH. Bright, brilliant surfaces are aglow with frosty mint luster. The reverse is modestly reflective in the field, and both sides are boldly struck apart from some softness around the obverse periphery. Continuing a trend begun in 1868, circulation strike silver dollar coinage remained strong in 1870 with a mintage of 415,000 pieces. Production at the Comstock and other domestic mines was increasing, and bullion brokers were depositing more and more of their excess metal with the Mint for coinage into dollars. These coins did not circulate domestically, but were largely used in the export trade with the Orient, which claimed much of the mintage through eventual melting. One of the most underrated issues of the type - which is saying a lot for a Liberty Seated dollar - the 1870 is often erroneously grouped with the 1871 and 1872 when, in reality, it is far scarcer in all grades. Our offering of this flashy MS-63 coin represents a fleeting opportunity for the astute collector. PCGS# 6963. NGC ID: 24ZD. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
