1859 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-1. Rarity-4+. MS-63 (NGC).A satiny and overall smooth example with brilliant surfaces and a bold to sharp strike. This is a scarce issue in an absolute sense, despite a generous mintage of 255,700 circulation strikes. Export claimed much of the mintage and was the reason these coins were produced in the first place. Mint State examples are rare, and represent the few survivors that escaped commercial use. An important bidding opportunity for advanced Liberty Seated dollar enthusiasts.From The Des Moines Collection.
