Lot Description

1859-O Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-2. Rarity-1. MS-62 (NGC). Brilliant apart from a thin layer of silver-gray toning, this boldly struck, lustrous example is sure to have no difficulty finding its way into a Mint State type set. Almost certainly from the Treasury Department silver dollar releases of 1962 to 1964, which source yielded up to three 1,000-coin bags of Uncirculated examples of the 1859-O. Along with the 1860-O, also widely represented in the Treasury Department releases, this is the most plentiful issue of the No Motto Liberty Seated design type in Mint State. Provenance: From the Michael Mann Type Collection. PCGS# 6947. NGC ID: 24YY. Click here for certification details from NGC.
