Owner's Description
An absolutely stunning example of this popular first year issue. A fully original sharply struck specimen toned in a wide array of vibrant colors. Gold, tangerine, lavender, silver-gray, and blue-green, are all on display. The original luster breaths life into the rich multi-colored patina on this spectacular natural seated dollar. The plus grade was well deserved as the exceptional eye appeal leaves the viewer in awe of nature’s artistry. If asked to pick one coin from this collection that displayed exceptional eye appeal this beauty would certainly be considered.
The first circulation strike Liberty Seated dollars were produced in July of 1840 to the extent of 12,500 pieces. These were among the few coins of this type struck on government account, for they were made to acquaint bullion depositors with their new coinage option. Follow on deliveries made at the request of these depositors resulted in a total circulation strike mintage of the 1840 of 61,005 pieces. Unlike most first-year issues in U.S. coinage history the 1840 was not saved by the contemporary public. It is, as such, among the scarcer and more underrated Philadelphia Mint Liberty Seated dollars from the 1840s.
