Lot 987
1850-O. PCGS graded AU-50. Mostly untoned. Identifiable by a small horizontal mark at Liberty's throat. The 1850-O is a collector favorite, one of the more talked-about dates in the entire Seated Dollar series. Mint records report a very unassuming mintage of 40,000 pieces. We have to assume that domestic circulation throughout the South undoubtedly took a toll on this delivery. Examples, are scarce in all grades but generally found well worn. The '50-O is a prime condition rarity, with AU coins being elusive in today's market. Factor in the observation that so many 1850-O Dollars have been mishandled or cleaned and one can easily appreciate the appeal of the original About Uncirculated specimen offered here. Pop 25; 42 finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 6938) .
Estimated Value $2,500 - 2,600.
