Seated Dollars
1850-O $1 MS61 PCGS. OC-1, R.2. From a mintage of just 40,000 pieces, the 1850-O Seated Liberty dollar is a rare issue in Mint State grades. Most of the mintage was released into circulation at the time of issue, as silver coins were in great demand for use in the bustling trade in the Mississippi Valley region. Today the 1850-O is in great demand, but the typical example seen grades in the VF-XF levels, and even AU specimens are elusive. This attractive MS61 example offers sharply detailed design elements and the brilliant, lustrous surfaces show a minimum number of minor contact marks for the grade. Population: 2 in 61, 10 finer (3/17).
Ex: Beverly Hills Signature (Heritage, 11/2014), lot 3801.
