Lot 326
1840. PCGS graded MS-62. Well struck and nicely toned on both sides with a blend of lighter silver gray with deeper swathes intermixed of gray. The fields are wonderfully smooth and free of handling marks of any consequence. This is the first year of issue of this new Silver dollar design, with Liberty Seated on the obverse, and a standing eagle on the reverse. As such, these initial coins struck in 1840 tend to show sharp strikes, and here is an example that was put away at the time of issue and carefully preserved to today. Reflective fields on both sides, almost looks like a proof strike. This is one of the finer examples known today, and a fantastic collector coin. Only 61,005 struck. Pop 16; 16 finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 6926) Estimated Value $6,500 - UP
