1849 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-2. Rarity-2. MS-61 (PCGS). CAC. This coin offers scarce and desirable Mint State quality for an otherwise more readily available silver dollar from the 1840s. Lustrous satin surfaces are brilliant apart from pale iridescent highlights that are more prevalent on the reverse. Well struck for the type, most design elements are boldly defined. Demand from bullion depositors resulted in a mintage of 62,600 circulation strike silver dollars in 1849. Most were exported, a familiar scenario, although enough returned from Europe in payment for goods that the 1849 is now regarded as one of the more readily obtainable issues of its type in circulated grades. Mint State coins are elusive and survived purely as a matter of chance, there being no contemporary numismatic interest in circulation strike silver dollars. Provenance: From the Midwest Cabinet. PCGS# 6936. NGC ID: 24YL. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
