Seated Dollars
1864 $1 MS61 NGC. OC-1, R.2. Osburn-Cushing Die State c/b. This mid-Civil War issue is seldom seen in Mint State, attributable in part to the meager mintage of only 30,700 business strikes. The present Mint State piece shows a few scattered grade-determining contact marks and ticks, all the apparent result of coin-to-coin contact rather than circulation, as there is no high-point wear and the luster is complete. Streaky patina ranges from brilliant silver through copper into ice-blue over semiprooflike surfaces.
