Choice Mint State 1856 Silver Dollar Among the Finest Certified 1856 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-1. Rarity-2. MS-63 (PCGS). This lightly patinated, golden-tinged example offers full mint luster in a soft satin texture. The strike is sharp to full throughout -- an uncommon attribute in a circulation strike Liberty Seated dollar from the 1850s -- and the surfaces are exceptionally well preserved for both the type and issue. The Philadelphia Mint produced 63,500 silver dollars in 1856 at the request of bullion depositors, the vast majority of which were used in export trade to Europe or, more likely, China. Few returned, the extant population for this issue just 600 or so coins in all grades (per Osburn and Cushing, 2018). Mint State examples are more rumored than real as far as most collectors are concerned, this being one of the finest known to PCGS. A highly significant offering for the advanced numismatist specializing in silver dollars or Liberty Seated coinage. Provenance: From The Des Moines Collection. PCGS Population: 6; 3 finer (all MS-64). PCGS# 6944. NGC ID: 24YV. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
