Lot 2909
1858 Liberty Seated Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 62. Mostly untoned with a hint of light golden tone. Approx. 300+ struck. An supremely popular date among collectors, the 1858 silver dollar has long been considered a classic in the series. None were made for circulation, so the few survivors are those sold as Proofs. Months may elapse between offerings of 1858 dollars, particularly of specimens of the choice quality offered here. A prime opportunity for the silver dollar specialist. How many are there? How many were struck? Estimates on the number of coins struck vary from a low of 75 pieces (or less) to a high of 478 coins. However, the mint records are too muddled up to be of much help. Some of these may be restrikes from a later date, as well, a contention that has yet to be established. Regardless, a Proof 1858 silver dollar is certain to stand in the spotlight of any rarities collection! As to the number that are known, we can be guided by the latest PCGS census for 1858 Proofs: Pop 21 in Proof 62; 38 finer; 28 in 63; 6 in 64; 4 in 65. (PCGS # 7001) .
Estimated Value $8,000 - 8,500.
