Seated Dollars
1866 $1 Motto MS64 PCGS. CAC. OC-1, R.2, Repunched Date, Doubled Die Reverse, A Top 30 Variety. The 1 and 8 in the date are lightly recut, and IN GOD WE TRUST shows bold die doubling. However, the interest of the die pair is overshadowed by the rarity of the issue in high grade. The 1866 With Motto Seated dollar comes from a mintage of only 48,900 coins, and many pieces were melted or otherwise lost to attrition and trade. Uncirculated survivors are scarce and are exceedingly rare finer than MS64. Examples are in high demand as type coins, representing the first issue in the series to bear the motto IN GOD WE TRUST.
This near-Gem is essentially brilliant, with frosty devices and fields that show a hint of reflectivity. A few light abrasions determine the grade but do not detract. Weakness occurs on Liberty's head and several nearby stars, although the strike is otherwise well-executed. Population: 19 in 64 (2 in 64+), 8 finer. CAC: 8 in 64, 2 finer (3/17).
From The Siegel Collection.
