1869 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-2. Rarity-2. Top 30 Variety.

1869 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-2. Rarity-2. Top 30 Variety. Misplaced Date, Doubled Die Reverse. AU-55 (PCGS). Given that the 1869 is scarce to rare in all grades, especially relative to the generous mintage of 423,700 pieces, large numbers of these coins were undoubtedly shipped to Asia, where they were melted. Other scholars agree with this usage, such as Hepburn in History of Currency in the United States, who states that the increase in silver dollar coinage from 1868 to 1872 was "chiefly due to the rich discoveries of Nevada" and, more to the point, that "....practically all were exported." This is certainly a desirable Choice AU survivor with bright, frosty surfaces ringed in vivid reddish-rose peripheral iridescence. Its offering represents a significant opportunity for the astute silver dollar collector. Provenance: From a Collection of American Silver Classics. PCGS# 6962. NGC ID: 24ZC.
