- Lot Description
- A fantastic condition rarity and one of the finer examples known of this date. The strike is sharp throughout, with Miss Liberty’s hair curls well defined. Mostly bright silver on the obverse with a pale golden hue favoring the periphery, the reverse sporting a bit more russet and gold, with a touch of blue at the rim. Close examination finds little more than a couple of tiny nicks from bag handling, which keeps this piece far and away finer than the majority of survivors seen of the 1849 issue. A rarity which will be a centerpiece in any advanced collection. PCGS 18, NGC 19. There are no recent auction prices for this date and grade, but the CoinFacts price guide is $17,500.00. Given the recent interest in Liberty Seated Dollars, we anticipate this elusive condition rarity will bring a strong price. This coin is being sold with no reserve.
