FROM THE M & S PETTY COLLECTION The 1841 silver dollar is scarce in all grades and in Mint State this is a major condition rarity. The presently offered coin, graded MS64 by PCGS and endorsed by CAC is a condition census example, one of just four in this near-GEM graded and only four have been graded finer by that service. Struck from OC-4. A strong satiny frost glows on both sides. The surfaces are of excellent quality and there are only a couple of relatively insignificant traces of contact seen with the aid of a strong glass, and are mostly hidden below the rich antique silver, pewter, and golden russet tan patina. The strike is bold with virtually all details struck up with pin point precision. With all the factors taken together: luster, strike, surface quality, and originality, this is one of the nicest 1841 dollars we have seen. Ex. Heritage, February 2014, lot 3967; Legend Numismatics; our consignor. PCGS 4, NGC 4, CAC 6. Do not let the Population data fool you, this is the most recent PCGS-graded example to sell in auction. Slightly more recent was the Gardner NGC MS64 CAC that brought $35,250 in October 2014. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $35,000 and the CAC CPG value is $39,600. PCGS has graded 2 in MS64+ and one each in MS65 and MS65+. Nothing finer than 64+ has ever sold in auction in a PCGS holder. Bound for another WORLD CLASS Seated Liberty dollar set. Cert.
