- Any Proof Seated coin from the 1840s is a major rarity. Mintages were limited to under 15 or so coins, and today, the number of survivors is even smaller! The PCGS CoinFacts estimate is 12 known. A thick, deep, rich toning covers the entirety of the surfaces on both sides. The fields show off a hint of the original reflection below the slate, blue, dove, mauve, and brown patina. Sharply struck, the details show off a full definition and the fields show just some minor contact scattered about, which account for the assigned grade. The eye appeal is decent overall, and you cannot beat the RARITY of this early Proof Seated dollar. Only 15 Proofs were struck. PCGS 2, NGC 1. This coin sold in April 2009 for $13,800, but prior to that, all examples sold between $21,850 and $25,300. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $20,000. Just four PCGS coins are graded higher, including 3 at PR63 and a single PR66, and NONE OF THESE have sold in auction. Indeed, since 2009, only NGC-graded examples have sold. Cert.
