1850-O Liberty Seated Dollar. NCS graded Details of EF-40 harshly cleaned. Lightly toned and cleaned at one time but will adjust eventually. Only 40,000 pieces struck, this is an elusive O-mint date that was the subject of a detailed history in the 1970s by noted numismatic scholar Bruce R. Lorich whose keen insight into this coin's elusive nature was well ahead of the dealer and collector community. Once his research report was released, it shook the foundations of seated dollar temple as prices advanced smartly and hundreds of new collectors began showing an interest in the 1850 New Orleans Mint silver dollar. New Orleans put its distinctive O-mintmark on only 4 dates in the series: 1846-O, 1850-O, 1859-O, and 1860-O, the latter two of which are common coins.
Estimated Value $500 - 550.
