1840 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-2. Rarity-4+. Repunched Stars. AU-55 (PCGS).Minimally toned in iridescent olive-apricot, this lustrous Choice AU retains ample evidence of a semi-prooflike finish from the dies. The obverse field is particularly reflective, while both sides are sharply defined over virtually all design elements. The 1840 Liberty Seated dollar is surprisingly elusive in all grades for a first year issue in U.S. coinage history, and this endearing coin is better preserved than most survivors. The OC-2 attribution adds further appeal for the specialist, the variety identifiable by repunching to stars 6 through 8.From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. Acquired from Kagins, May 1988.
