1849 $1 MS (PCGS#6936)

June 2021 U.S. Coins Auction

Losbeschreibung: 1849 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-2. Rarity-2. MS-61 (NGC). Satiny surfaces are minimally toned in pale sandy-silver iridescence. Most viewing angles reveal a brilliant coin, the strike generally sharp and the in hand appearance uncommonly smooth for the assigned grade. Demand from bullion depositors resulted in a mintage of 62,600 circulation strike silver dollars in 1849. Most were exported, a familiar scenario, although enough returned from Europe in payment for goods that the 1849 is now regarded as one of the more readily obtainable issues of its type in circulated grades. Mint State coins are elusive and survived purely as a matter of chance, there being no contemporary numismatic interest in circulation strike silver dollars. PCGS# 6936. NGC ID: 24YL.
