1848 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-1. Rarity-2. AU-55 (PCGS).

1848 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-1. Rarity-2. AU-55 (PCGS). Lightly toned in iridescent champagne-pink, both sides retain plenty of frosty to semi-reflective luster that shines forth powerfully when the coin is viewed with the aid of direct lighting. Always a popular issue that figures prominently on collectors' want lists, the 1848 is the lowest mintage Liberty Seated dollar from the 1840s. Just 15,000 coins were struck in response to a record (pre-1850) low demand from silver bullion depositors requesting coins of this denomination. Fewer than 1,000 examples are believed extant in all grades, perhaps as few as 600, and when offered these rarely remain on the open market for long. Provenance: From a Collection of American Silver Classics. PCGS# 6935. NGC ID: 24YK. Click here for certification details from PCGS.

Estimate:£0.75
