1845. NGC graded AU-55. Lovely natural toning. Only 24,500 struck of this elusive, low mintage issue. Few silver dollars were made in the 1840s, and then mintage bounced all over the place. The merchants and bankers who deposited metal with the Mint generally asked for half dollars instead of one-dollar coins. And so the Mint obliged. Highly prized in this outstanding state of preservation. Pop 367; 47 finer at NGC.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,100.
