Rare Near-Gem 1862 Seated Dollar 1862 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-1. Rarity-3. MS-64 (PCGS). This 1862 silver dollar offers outstanding Choice Mint State quality for an issue that can be elusive even in circulated grades. Far rarer than a Proof of equivalent grade. The surfaces are overall brilliant and flashy, accented by subtle hints of bronze and violet patina in the protected areas. Die polishing has contributed a lightly reflective complexion in the fields on both sides, nicely contrasting the frosty luster that blankets the devices. Just 7 coins have been graded finer by PCGS, making this an important offering for Registry Set participants. A visually stunning example. The 1862 has the lowest circulation strike mintage among Civil War era Liberty Seated dollars with just 11,540 coins struck. As with its predecessors beginning with the 1853, these coins were produced at the request of bullion depositors who used the coins in international commerce, especially to Liverpool, England and China. Apparently few examples returned to native shores, as the extant population of the circulation strikes is fewer than 350 coins in all grades. Mint State survivors are rare, and most are in graded of MS-63 or lower. This near-Gem is an important opportunity for specialists. Provenance: From the Collection of Silas Stanley Roberts, 1888-1966. PCGS Population: 14; 7 finer. PCGS# 6952. NGC ID: 24Z5. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
