1861 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-2. Rarity-3+. AU Details--Plugged (PCGS).An overall sharply defined example with mottled reddish-gold retoning to both sides. Glossy in texture with evidence of having been tooled, the PCGS qualifier concerns a plug and associated device re-engraving at the top of the obverse, the latter feature most noticeable in the features of Libertys head. Far scarcer than even a limited mintage of 78,500 circulation strikes might imply, the 1861 was exported in quantity with most examples lost overseas.From the Boston Old City Hall Collection.
