Too bad very few people know how to grade these coins, in our opinion (and we have built the 2 FINEST Mint State Seated Dollar sets ever) this coin probably is a 64-but it won't happen. This coin last appeared in our Regency Auction 57, where it was described as: "Among the highest graded examples: PCGS has graded 15 in MS63 and finer, with a quartet at the MS64 level the finest seen. Rich, thick, antique dove, pewter, silver, and lilac-gray toning is imbued with hints of tan-russet and soft olive-gold. The devices are sharply struck up from an exacting blow from the dies. The surfaces have a warm underlying glow that accents the colors. A strong glass reveals some tiny ticks and the lightest of marks; these are mostly hidden by the rich antique patina and invisible to the naked eye. The visual allure is impressive! Regular silver dollar production ended in 1804, and aside from a small mintage of Gobrecht dollars in 1836 and 1839, it was not until 1840 when silver dollars were again struck for circulation. While 61,005 were struck, few were saved at the time of issue. Mint State survivors, especially those in CHOICE or finer, are quite rare! Struck from OC-1, the most common of the four die pairings recorded for the date, making this a great coin for the date or type collector." PCGS 8, NGC 8, CAC 4. This CHOICE and totally original example sold in our July 2022 sale of the M&S Petty Collection, where it realized $22,325. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $22,500 and the CAC CPG value is $26,400. We think a great coin like this should be worth more. Just seven are graded finer, and the Simpson MS64 CAC coin sold for a record $57,600 in the 2022 FUN auction. We expect strong bidding for this beauty when it crosses the block. Opportunity knocks loud here! Good luck. Cert. Number 21659554 PCGS # 6926
