Liberty Seated Dollars
	1843	EF40	ANACS OWH 507587	Choice	$825	Deep Gray Toning, Steely Fields, Unspoiled and Attractive. 1990s ANACS grading brought the popular small white holder and accurate assessments. As a result, many of these holders have been left alone and still actively trade in the marketplace. Case in point is this naturally toned 1843 Seated half with crusty gray patina. Under that "skin" are steely fields which present themselves well under a bright light. In particular, the gun metal blues on the reverse are quite attractive. Abrasions are limited to one hidden contact mark to the right of the cap, otherwise the fields are close to pristine. Let's remember that we are discussing an EF coin that has seen circulation. Overall, a thoroughly pleasing type set possibility with perfect originality.
	1846	MS62	NGC 5742416006	Choice	$3650	Superbly Preserved, Rose-Gray Obverse Patina, Pristine Steely Fields, Fully Struck. An attractive and well preserved 1846 Seated dollar that warrants attention. Steely fields issue notable reflectance under angled lighting. This a fully choice example with intermixed mottled aquamarine, rose, and gray shades on the obverse while the reverse sports patches of olive surrounded by midnight blues. Fields are essentially unabraded and most pleasing during a 10x inspection. Worthy of a JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation. Housed in new large font NGC holder. Please note that the images emphasize greenish shades while the coin in hand will exhibit strong rose tones.
	1847	AU55	NGC 1972291007	Choice	$1775	Classic Steely Gray Surfaces, Bold Reflectance, CAC Approval. It must be recognized that early Seated dollar were struck based on tendered bullion and not generally intended for circulation. 1847 date silver dollars mintage amounted to 140,750 and a high enough quantity that renders the issue as a type coin. This well preserved survivor exhibits old time surfaces with steely gray patina including peripheral olive toning. Fields are brilliant steely and perfectly original. A strong example that is worthy of consideration. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert and CAC approval.
	1859-O	EF45	PCGS 38188290	Choice	$1150	New November 19! Choice Original, Island City Collection.. This New Orleans piece exhibits a thick skin of gray and rose patina, marked by lighter color at the high points. A few scattered ticks are noted on the figure of Liberty. CAC notes 143 coins total, with 26 examples in AU and 80 pieces in Mint State. These coins circulated little, and the CAC grade distribution is top-heavy, as expected. The CAC guide value is $1,150 in EF45. Following the Coinage Act of 1853, Seated dollars contained slightly more silver than two half dollars, meaning that most pieces coined were intended for international trade. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	1860-O	MS62	PCGS 12021008	Original	$3350	Near-Choice Original, New Orleans Collection. Housed in PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder.
	1871	MS64+	PCGS 41255496	Gem	$15400	Exceptional Eye Appeal, Partially Mirrored Fields, Pristine Surfaces, Osprey Collection. The Osprey Collection is back with a gem 1871 Motto Liberty Seated dollar offering that should garner considerable attention. Fields are partial mirrored with the associated reflective luster that explodes during bright light assessment. Surfaces are entirely pristine and unabraded which further enhanced viewing. The in-hand green and rose shades are transparent to the underlying luster. Please don't be fooled by the GFR images, this piece is far from a dark patina with full access to the mirrors with angled light. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder with CAC approval. CAC has approved 17 at grade with only five better at huge pricing premium to the offer example.

	1874	MS63	PCGS 35415397	Gem	$3550	Gem Original, Osprey Collection.. Pleasing rose and maroon patina blankets both sides of this GFRC-rated Gem example, with deeper shades at the rims. Central figures are outlined by more intense color that clings to the recessed points. The strike is typical, with Liberty's head a touch soft. The overall eye appeal is strong, and, combined with a low CAC population, this coin will attract significant attention. CAC has approved 41 pieces in all grades, with 17 coins finer. The CAC price guide value is $3,750. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder with CAC approval.
	1874-S	AU50	PCGS 33675367	Original	HOLD $500	Steely Fields, Ebony-Blue and Rose Patina, Bart Chapman Collection.. The 1874-S Trade Dollar was struck primarily to be used in the China trade with 2,549,000 struck that year. Enough examples entered domestic circulation with survivors being sufficient to satisfy the current marketplace. The Chapman Collection features a well preserved example with sharp steely fields and ebony-blue obverse toning. Rose-gray coloration is more prevalent on the reverse though the fields are consistently steely with the obverse. A few scattered field ticks are noted on either side of "seated" Liberty. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.

When viewed under a bright light, the coloring shifts to rose and aquamarine, especially on the reverse. This piece is essentially blemish free with just a faint amount of field chatter by star 5. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder. Purchased from GFRC during September 2017.
