Seated Dollars
1842 $1 MS64 NGC. OC-3, R.2. Osburn-Cushing Die State b/a. The 1842 Seated dollar is one of the more plentiful issues in the series from the 1840s, but it is nonetheless conditionally scarce in Mint State. This Choice example is among the finest certified, and displays substantial semiprooflike mirroring beneath a blanket of warm golden-gray toning. A few stars are slightly soft, but the strike is otherwise pleasing, and the surfaces are pleasantly free of major distractions. Census: 19 in 64 (3 in 64★), 0 finer (3/17).
Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 1/2015), lot 3174, which realized $10,575.
