- 1840 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-1. Rarity-1. AU-53 (PCGS). Lustrous AU surfaces exhibit pretty iridescent olive-russet highlights to a base of light silver-gray. The 1840 is the first silver dollar produced in quantity since 1804 (the coins struck in that year being from 1802- and 1803-dated dies). By modern Mint standards the mintage is extremely small, however, totaling just 61,005 pieces. Unlike many first year issues in U.S. numismatics, the 1840 silver dollar was not widely saved by the contemporary public, and most of the coins saw considerable domestic circulation. The few About Uncirculated, as here, and even fewer Mint State examples known survived almost entirely as a matter of chance. Provenance: From the Collection of James Allaire Millholland, 1842-1911.
