1840 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-1. Rarity-1. EF-45 (PCGS). CAC. Crusty and fully original surfaces are toned in rich charcoal-gray with softer pewter gray nestled in the protected areas around the design elements. Appreciable luster and champagne-gold undertones flash into view as the coin is rotated into direct lighting. Boldly defined in the presence of overall light wear, this is a handsome coin that will appeal to specialists in fully original Liberty Seated dollars. The first circulation strike silver dollars of this design type were produced in July 1840, to the extent of 12,500 pieces. These were among the few coins of this type struck on government account, made to acquaint bullion depositors with their new coinage option. Subsequent deliveries made at the request of private bullion depositors resulted in 48,505 coins struck, for a total circulation strike mintage of 61,005 pieces. The issue's first year status was overlooked by contemporary Americans, and most 1840 dollars were eventually lost to export and/or melting. Today, it ranks among the scarcer Philadelphia Mint issues from the 1840s and is extremely popular with numismatists. Provenance: From the Bryan C. Tipton Collection. PCGS# 6926. NGC ID: 24YA.
