Seated Dollars
1861 $1 MS64 PCGS. OC-4, Low R.4. The mintage of 77,500 pieces is low, but does not fully explain the scarcity of the 1861. It may be that many were melted. The present minimally abraded near-Gem has good luster, and displays light to medium almond-gold toning. The strike shows blending on Liberty's hair and the upper stars. Population: 25 in 64 (3 in 64+), 5 finer (3/17).
Ex: Beverly Hills Signature (Heritage, 11/2014), lot 3802, which realized $8,225.
