Seated Dollars
1853 $1 MS64 PCGS. CAC. OC-1, R.2. OC Die State d/b. Designated as a Top 30 variety by Dick Osburn and Brian Cushing, due to the "Chin Whiskers" vertical die lines below Liberty's jaw. No Motto Seated dollars are available in bagmarked Uncirculated grades due to a hoard of 1859-O and 1860-O examples distributed during the early 1960s. But near-Gems of any date are rare. The present golden-brown and cream-gray representative has good luster and a strong strike. Minor parallel roller marks (as issued) cross Liberty's legs, and the upper reverse field displays unimportant contact. Population: 17 in 64 (1 in 64+), 4 finer. CAC: 5 in 64, 4 finer (6/17).
