Lot 1687
1850 Liberty Seated Dollar. PCGS graded AU-55 PQ. A brilliant white specimen with fully reflective and proof-like fields. Frosted devices contrast nicely with the fields. Radial luster is strongest on the reverse. The base of the 0 in date has been repunched and there are die file marks below the 50 of the date, a diagnostic for identifying this piece as the Open 5 variety (Breen-5443). Only 7,500 pieces were produced and the 1850 silver dollar is a legitimate rarity that is seldom seen in pleasing AU and very rare in mint state. PCGS has graded 28 in AU-55 with only 40 finer. Housed in an old PCGS green label, fat letter holder (PCGS # 6937) .
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,500.
