- 1840 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-1. Rarity-1. AU-53 (PCGS). Both sides are brilliant apart from light champagne-gold iridescence that appears to drift toward the borders. Plenty of luster remains, the fields modestly semi-reflective, and the detail is bold to sharp throughout. The 1840 is the first silver dollar produced in quantity since 1804 (the coins struck in that year being from 1802- and 1803-dated dies). By modern Mint standards the mintage is extremely small, however, totaling just 61,005 pieces. Unlike many first year issues in U.S. numismatics, the 1840 silver dollar was not widely saved by the contemporary public, and most of the coins succumbed to domestic circulation during that decade or, more commonly, export or melting either abroad or within the United States. The few About Uncirculated, as here, and even fewer Mint State examples known survived almost entirely as a matter of chance, the former primarily as part of domestic bullion reserves. PCGS# 6926.
