Seated Dollars
1872 $1 MS63 PCGS. OC-8, R.2. This die marriage features a high date, a die lump under the chin, and a raised line through the right side of the O in GOD. About 600 representatives from this die pair alone are believed extant, though few of any variety survive in Select Uncirculated condition -- that despite a high mintage of 1.1 million coins. A few daubs of marginal golden-orange color complement frosty, untoned surfaces. The reverse is better-struck than the obverse, but the latter side remains well-detailed. Small ticks and grazes explain the MS63 assessment. Population: 20 in 63 (3 in 63+), 42 finer (8/17).
