详细说明: 1862 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-1. Rarity-3. MS-63 (NGC). CAC. This 1862 silver dollar offers outstanding Choice Mint State quality for an issue that can be elusive even in circulated grades. Far rarer than a Proof of equivalent grade. The offered coin is lightly toned in sandy-silver and pale gold iridescence, with undertones of champagne-apricot and powder blue. The texture is satiny with an overall smooth appearance, and the strike is suitably bold for the type. The 1862 has the lowest circulation strike mintage among Civil War era Liberty Seated dollars with just 11,540 coins struck. As with its predecessors beginning with the 1853, these coins were produced at the request of bullion depositors who used the coins in international commerce, especially to Liverpool, England and China. Apparently few examples returned to native shores, as the extant population of the circulation strikes is fewer than 350 coins in all grades. Mint State survivors are rare. This is an important opportunity for specialists. Provenance: From the Midwest Cabinet. NGC Census: 13; 23 finer (MS-65 * finest). PCGS# 6952. NGC ID: 24Z5.
