- 1846-O Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-1, the only known dies. Rarity-2. MS-61 (PCGS). A richly toned example of this coveted issue with pinkish and lavender-gray shades blanketing each side. The surfaces are impressively composed and free from notable blemishes, with just a touch of friction apparent across the highest points. Evenly struck and overall bold, with pleasing eye appeal in hand. One of the most significant Liberty Seated silver dollars, the 1846-O was the first mintmarked silver dollar in United States coinage. Produced in the South during a decade in which coins of this denomination saw considerable domestic circulation, most examples of this 59,000-piece delivery were worn and eventually lost through commercial use. There was no numismatic interest in them at the time of striking, and the few Mint State coins that have survived did so purely as a matter of chance. This coin would serve as a highlight in the finest collection of silver dollars or Liberty Seated coinage. Provenance: From the Steve Studer Collection.
