1867 $1 MS (PCGS#6960)

June 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1867 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-1, Top 30 Variety. Rarity-2. Repunched Date, Large/Small Date. AU-58 (PCGS). Brilliant apart from a few wisps of reddish-gold and powder blue peripheral iridescence, this flashy silver dollar allows full appreciation of lively mint luster. The finish is predominantly frosty, although direct lighting reveals modest semi-reflective tendencies in the fields. Sharply struck overall with superior eye appeal at the assigned grade level. Scarce to rare in all grades, the 1867 continues a trend, begun in 1850, of low mintage Philadelphia Mint Liberty Seated dollar issues that were produced exclusively for use in the export trade. Of the 46,900 circulation strikes made this year, only 450 to 600 examples are believed to have survived export to China and/or domestic melting. The OC-1 circulation strike die pairing of this issue is an interesting Large/Small Date variety caused by the initial use of a date logotype punch intended for half dollar dies. The present example is an early die state with repunching readily evident on the first two digits in the date when observed with the aid of a loupe. PCGS# 6960. NGC ID: 24ZA.
