June 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1845 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-1. Rarity-2. AU-58 (PCGS). Brilliant apart from delicate reddish-gold iridescence in isolated peripheral areas, this bright and beautiful example allows ready appreciation of nearly complete mint luster. A bit lightly struck at the high points of the eagle, typical of the issue, yet more uniformly sharp throughout the obverse. Demand from contemporary silver bullion depositors remained limited in 1845, during which year the Mint delivered only 24,500 dollars for commercial use. Most were used in the export trade, those that went to the Orient being invariably lost through melting. Some examples that went to Europe returned to the United States in later years, while others were retained stateside and used domestically as part of bullion reserves and in large transactions between banks, brokerage houses, and the like. Attrition from all causes was high and your cataloger (JLA) accounts for only 650 to 850 survivors. As one of the trio of low mintage Liberty Seated dollar issues from the 1840s, the 1845 has long enjoyed strong numismatic demand in the finest circulated grades, as here. PCGS# 6931. NGC ID: 24YF.
