1857 $1 MS (PCGS#6945)

The Regency Auction 53

详细说明: FROM THE M & S PETTY COLLECTION While the mintage of silver dollars temporarily went up to 94,490 in 1857 these are VERY RARE in such a lofty state of preservation. This coin sits clearly in the Condition Census for the date, and among the finest known. Struck from OC-2. Many examples were exported for the China trade, and were lost to circulation and melting in Asia. This beautiful near-GEM was an early striking from the dies, as the obverse and reverse both show fully Prooflike mirrored reflection and bold flashy brilliance. A golden iridescent toning blends with a soft pastel lilac over sensational antique silver. Areas of striking weakness at the top of Liberty's head, at the tip of her foot and on some of the stars are typical for the date. The eye appeal is exceptional in every way! What a great looking coin! PCGS 5, NGC 16, CAC 6. The last PCGS/CAC example we sold was the Sterling-Legend-Issaquah coin that realized $34,075 in our May 2019 Regency Auction. The current Collectors Universe value is listed at $18,000. There are a mere four coins graded higher, and any GEM will cost $75,000-$100,000! Worthy of a very strong bid and will find itself at home in another world class set of Seated Liberty dollars. Good luck. Cert. Number 8501366 PCGS # 6945
