- 1868 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-5. Rarity-3-. Doubled Die Reverse. AU-58 (PCGS). A brilliant and frosty example with just a whisper of rub to sharply struck features. The 1868 begins a trend toward higher circulation strike coinage of silver dollars that continues through the end of the Liberty Seated series in early 1873. Domestic production at the Comstock and other sources had reached a level beginning in the late 1860s that made bullion depositors increasingly look to the dollar as a storehouse of excess silver. Once converted into coin form, this bullion was primary used in the export trade with the Orient, which claimed much of the 162,100-piece mintage for the circulation strike 1868. The 300 to 400 survivors that Q. David Bowers (2016) accounts for in worn condition largely represent coins that returned from export to other countries, mostly in Europe and Latin America, and subsequently escaped domestic melting.
