Liberty Seated Dollars
Seated $1 1843 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.

Choice $3350 New September 9! Superbly Preserved, Rose-Gray Obverse Patina, Pristine Steely Fields, Fully Struck. GFRC Price Reduction. 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.

Original $1750 Near-Choice Orignal, New Jersey Collection.. Consignor Pricing Reduction. Light gold patina overlays the partially mirrored surfaces of this Philadelphia piece. Straight-on viewing reveals steel gray color, with the toning more apparent under a bright light. Both shields exhibit light crust. Strike is typical, with a couple soft stars. As with most Seated dollars, production was minimal, with 62,600 examples struck in this year. NGC notes 58 pieces at the AU58 level, with 77 examples at all Mint State grades combined. The NGC price guide assigns a value of $1,900 in AU58. Housed in an NGC Gen 17 (2004-2008) holder. PCGS #6936

AU55 NGC
3655708003
Choice $1395 Choice Orignal, New Jersey Collection.. Consignor Pricing Reduction. Thick skin reveals violet and purple color under a bright light, overlaid by deep slate patina on both sides. The NGC price guide value is $1,150, rising to $1,900 in AU58 and $2,650 at the MS60 level. Every collector is unique, but we like the idea of a near-MS example at less than half of the Mint State price. Like all Seated dollars, the overall population is low (334 coins at NGC, 517 pieces at PCGS) and compares favorably to “rarities” in the Morgan series, such as the 1889-CC or 1893-S, which number in the thousands. Housed in newer NGC holder with edge view insert. PCGS #6936

Choice $1315 Choice Original, New Jersey Collection.. Consignor Pricing Reduction. Grey-gold crust blankets nearly perfect surfaces, which exhibit reflective mirrors under a light source. Overall originality is close to CAC standards, and this GFRC-rated Choice piece stands above most MS62 examples. All coins fall on a continuum, and astute collectors will do well to pursue pieces that differentiate themselves from their peers. If paying MS62 money for a coin, why not acquire one of the better examples that can be had at that level? NGC notes 88 pieces at MS62 and 132 examples finer. The NGC price guide value is $1,200. Housed in an NGC Gen 17 (2004-2008) holder. PCGS #7044

Better Philadelphia Issue, Lightly Mirrored, Creamy Pewter-Gold Patina. Partially mirrored surfaces reveal light pewter-gold color throughout. Strike is typical, with a few soft stars. Surfaces are smooth and essentially mark-free for the grade with a few micro-ticks in the obverse fields. Let's remember the size of a Trade dollar coin and its opportunity for acquiring blemishes for the appropriate perspective. This is a wicked nice example. Following demonetization of Trade dollars in 1876, these pieces circulated at a discount, as falling silver prices reduced the bullion value of the coin to less than the face value. PCGS notes 106 coins in AU55, The PCGS price guide in AU55 is $800 as reference. The lightly mirrored fields and toning are a great visual pairing. Housed in a PCGS Gen 6.0 (2015-2020) holder.

NGC
3475382001
Choice $950 Uniform Crusted Patina, Choice Original.. Thick gold-gray crust blankets both sides, as a light source reveals steely surfaces underneath. This piece exhibits a typical “John Albanese” look, with heavy skin atop original, hairline-free fields. This year represents the final issue of circulation strike Trade dollars, as the passage of the Brand-Allison Act on February 28, 1878 led toward the creation of the now ubiquitous Morgan dollar. CAC notes 195 coins total, with 20 pieces in AU58 and 82 examples across the Mint State bands. The CAC price guide value is $992 in AU58. Housed in a newer NGC holder with edge view insert and CAC approval. PCGS #7048
