Liberty Seated Dollars

Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 1797		1840 Liberty Seated Dollar. EF-45. Flashy and bright, but we note some faint graffiti on the upper reverse which has been reduced to almost nothing by a profusion of marks in the area. Untoned and not a bad coin overall. Estimated Value $300 - 350. View details	Realized $483
Lot 1798		1842 Liberty Seated Dollar. NGC graded MS-61. Steel gray in color, with nice contrast between the fields and devices. Examination will locate typical handling marks, especially in the fields, but none are deep. Most of these early date Seated dollars circulated, and finding a high grade one can be a challenge. Estimated Value $700 - 900. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $776
Lot 1799		1846 Liberty Seated Dollar. AU-55. Steel gray with some luster near the devices, and generally untoned. There are scattered spots on the obverse and others on the reverse, including a streak up to the left from the top of the eagle's head. A nice coin overall, and most collectors will be pleased with it. Estimated Value $450 - 550. View details	Realized $472
Lot 1800		1846 Liberty Seated Dollar. AU-50. Flashy and bright, with excellent luster and clean surfaces. A few hairlines, but they are not detracting. Perfect for the type or date collector who wants a steel gray coin with nice luster. Estimated Value $350 - 400. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $506
Lot 1801		1849 Liberty Seated Dollar. MS-60. Moderate handling marks expected for the grade, but still nice and appealing. Untoned save for faint shadowy images on the obverse. As to the strike, it rates as normal, with slight weakness on the stars, but full on most of the other devices. Estimated Value $800 - 1,000. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 1802		1853 Liberty Seated Dollar. MS-64. Bright and untoned from a recent dipping, the color is slightly golden. Clean surfaces which show minor handling marks, mostly on the devices as compared to the fields. The usual faint hairlines are present in the fields, but they are expected on a mint state coin of almost any grade. One very light edge nick is noted over Liberty's head. Estimated Value $7,500 - 10,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $6,325
Lot 1803		1859-O Liberty Seated Dollar. PCGS graded MS-62. Blazing white luster and almost certainly from the bag of these that was discovered when the Treasury Department released their hoards in the 1960s. Moderate bag marks, but better than most seen from this hoard, after all, how would you look after being tossed around in a bag of silver dollars for 100 years? A frosty, brilliant uncirculated coin. Estimated Value $1,250 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,006
Lot 1804		1860-O Liberty Seated Dollar. MS-63 Prooflike. Toned a lovely steel gray in color and examination will find minor hairlines and a couple of shallow dents in the field left of Liberty's head. The fields are reflective, and this must have been an early strike from the dies. Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,093
Lot 1805		1860-O Liberty Seated Dollar. PCGS graded AU-50. Medium steel gray in color with golden toning around the edges. While moderate bagmarks are present, this coin retains nice appeal and luster, and most collectors will find it worth a good bid. In an old green insert PCGS holder. Estimated Value $400 - 450. View details	Unsold
Lot 1806		1862 Liberty Seated Dollar. NGC graded Proof 64. Deeply toned with midnight blue around the periphery and lighter gray at the centers. Minor specks of heavier toning scattered around the devices and lettering. A rare proof issue, most of which are found in lower grades than this. Mintage of 430 coins in Proof, this one of the better ones to come down to us. NGC has graded 37 this high, with just 20 graded higher of the date. Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $4,025
Lot 1807		1864 Liberty Seated Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64. Mintages for the year amounted to just 470 coins in Proof. This is one of the better ones, PCGS notes just 28 have been graded this high, with 15 graded higher. The obverse is toned a light silvery gray in color, while the reverse is a cloudy and irregular gray in the fields, frosty on the devices. Needle sharp strike, and minor hairlines beneath the toning, as always, as well as a few areas of handling ticks. Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,910
Lot 1808		1868 Liberty Seated Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64. Deep steel gray in color, with shadowy areas in the fields that glow a luminous blue when examined under a light. The surfaces show virtually no signs of handling aside from minor hairlines, which are toned over nicely. Bold and beautiful in every way, this one will please most collectors. PCGS notes 71 have been graded as such, with just 13 graded higher (best PR-66). Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $3,910
Lot 1809		1868 Liberty Seated Dollar. AU-50. This one has a few scrapes and marks, but nothing you wouldn't expect on a large, heavy coin of the period. Nice gold toning around the edge, and well struck. Estimated Value $550 - 600. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $575
Lot 1810		1868 Liberty Seated Dollar. AU-50 Cleaned. Steel gray in color but rather extensively hairlined from a none too gentle cleaning. Starting to recover with toning around the periphery. Estimated Value $400 - 500. View details	Realized $460
Lot 1811		1870-CC Liberty Seated Dollar. EF-45. Nice for the grade, this coin has silvery gray color throughout and is well struck. Minor circulation marks from handling, and a small rim tick or two, but nothing deep to speak of. A good strike by the dies, bringing up all the minute details, with a complete LIBERTY on the shield and strong feather detail on the eagle. Mintage just 11,758 keeping this is the scarce category. Estimated Value $1,000 - 1,350. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,438
Lot 1812		1873 Liberty Seated Dollar. ICG graded MS-63. Examination will note that this coin is a bit dull from a past dipping or two, as the luster is subdued although the coin is still quite white. Nicely struck on the stars and eagle. A scarce type issue. Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,000. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,610
