- 1848 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-1. Rarity-2. AU-50 (PCGS). OGH. The silver gray surfaces are enhanced by splashes of iridescent reddish-copper patina toward the borders. Well struck for an 1840s silver dollar, most design elements are sharply defined. Wispy hairlines and a somewhat glossy texture are noted, although there are also flashes of original mint luster. Demand for dollars from contemporary bullion depositors dipped in 1848, and the Philadelphia Mint delivered just 15,000 circulation strikes to fill orders received for this denomination. Survivors are scarce by the standards of the era; Dick Osburn and Brian Cushing (Liberty Seated Dollars: A Register of Die Varieties, 2018) estimate that just 750 coins are extant in all grades. Provenance: From the Midwest Cabinet. PCGS# 6935. NGC ID: 24YK. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
