1844 $1 MS (PCGS#6930)

August 2018 ANA U.S. Coins Auction Philadelphia, PA

详细说明: 1844 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-1. Rarity-2. Misplaced Date, Doubled Die Obverse. MS-61 (NGC). Dusky sandy-gray and olive-copper patina blends nicely over both sides of this handsome coin. Smartly impressed with sharp to full definition to virtually all design elements. A solidly graded Mint State example whose satiny surfaces are uncommonly smooth for the assigned grade. A key date issue among 1840s silver dollars, the 1844 was produced to the extent of just 20,000 circulation strikes. Only a single die marriage is known, and it employs a particularly interesting obverse. A loupe reveals remnants of an errant 1 and 8 in Liberty's gown above the primary digits in the date. Additionally, the vertical stripes in the shield exhibit four elements instead of the usual three, the result of a doubled die. Virtually all examples of this issue were exported, typical of the era, with the most frequently encountered survivors circulated to one degree or another. Uncirculated coins are of the utmost rarity; most have survived purely as a matter of rare chance. Provenance: From The Des Moines Collection. NGC Census: 9; 9 finer (MS-64 finest). PCGS# 6930. NGC ID: 24YE. Click here for certification details from NGC.
