1841 $1 MS (PCGS#6927)

June 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1841 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-3. Rarity-2. AU-58 (PCGS). A bright, lustrous example with a sharp strike and frosty to modestly semi-reflective finish. Otherwise brilliant, we note delicate champagne-gold peripheral toning on the obverse. Silver dollar production climbed in 1841, the second year of the Liberty Seated series. At 173,000 coins struck, the mintage of the 1841 is comparable to those of the 1842 and 1843. The 1841, however, is far scarcer in numismatic circles, making it one of the more underrated issues of its era. Only 1,000 to 1,250 coins are extant in all grades, not many more than for the lower mintage 1840, and a more accurate estimate than the higher figures given in most numismatic sources. In fact, published survival estimates for all circulation strike Liberty Seated dollar issues are much too high and give a false impression of the availability of these coins. Insofar as it is rarer than the 1842 and 1843, the 1841 must have suffered a higher rate of attrition through export and/or melting than most Philadelphia Mint Liberty Seated dollar issues from the 1840s. Attractive EF and AU survivors are elusive, more so than many collectors realize, while Mint State coins are rare. PCGS# 6927. NGC ID: 24YB. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
