详细说明: 1846-O Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-1, the only known dies. Rarity-2. AU-53 (NGC). Dusky copper-rose and pewter gray patina is seen on both sides of this handsome New Orleans silver dollar. Quite well defined for this often poorly produced issue, the reverse is particularly noteworthy for the sharpness of detail throughout the eagle's plumage. A historically significant issue, the 1846-O is the first branch mint silver dollar in United States coinage history. In response the requests from local bullion depositors, the New Orleans Mint struck 59,000 silver dollars in 1846. The coins were used in export trade from that port, which during that era was by far the largest and most significant on the Gulf Coast. Circulated survivors are obtainable with patience and enjoy strong demand among both silver dollar collectors and New Orleans Mint enthusiasts. Many are coins returned to the United States after initial export to Europe. Over a long period of years, most specialized collections of Liberty Seated dollars have included coins below this in quality and grade. This high-grade circulated coin with excellent striking (not reflected when third-party services certify coins) will be a magnet for sophisticated buyers. Provenance: From the Midwest Cabinet. Earlier ex S.M. Damon Collection. PCGS# 6933. NGC ID: 24YH. Click here for certification details from NGC.
