Lot 1398
1844 Liberty Seated Dollar. EF-45. With the curious quadruple stripes in the shield from a slightly double die, the reverse has its own funny story, the eagle has numerous file marks that were on the die, hence this is known as the "armpit" variety. Nevertheless, this is a rare coin, with a mintage of 20,000, few of which were saved in high grade. There are a couple of minor rim marks, which scarcely show with the large flat area surrounding the dentils. Always in demand, this date is certain to find a new home where it will be treasured.
