1872 $1 MS (PCGS#6968)

December 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1872 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-3. Rarity-1. Misplaced Date, Doubled Die Reverse. MS-64 (PCGS). Brilliant apart from the lightest iridescent silver toning, this satin to softly frosted example also displays sharply executed strike. This is an example of Breen's "Blundered Date" variety, which shows faint remnants of a date logotype originally entered much too high -- actually within the rocky base below Liberty's portrait. Close inspection with a loupe also reveals doubling on the reverse that is boldest at the letter E in WE. One of only two issue of this type with a mintage of more than 1,000,000 pieces, the 1872 is very available in circulated grades. At the Mint State level, however, the story changes and examples become increasingly difficult to locate the higher one progresses up the numismatic grading scale. It is seldom encountered in MS-64 and is rare any finer. Sure to appeal to high grade type collectors as well as series specialists. Provenance: From the Larry H. Miller Collection. PCGS# 6968. NGC ID: 24ZJ. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
