FROM THE M & S PETTY COLLECTION 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! PCGS has graded 15 in MS63 and finer, with a quartet at the MS64 level the finest seen. 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. 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! Ex Legend Numismatics. PCGS 8, NGC 8, CAC 4. The last PCGS MS63 CAC sold back in June 2014, a very pleasing piece from the Gardner Collection realized $18,800. This one is housed in an earlier generation blue tag holder and is fresh to the market. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $20,000. Only seven coins are graded finer, and we sold a PCGS MS63+ CAC for $24,675 in November 2018 and the Simpson PCGS MS64 CAC realized $57,600 in the 2022 FUN auction. This lovely and CHOICE example will see strong bidding for sure. Good luck. Cert. Number 21659554 PCGS # 6926
