Owner's Description
A magnificent naturally toned example from an old-time collection. The pristine surfaces appear dusky gray at first glance. When tilted under a light the warm apricot patina from years of envelope storage comes alive. The abundant luster, un-abraded surfaces, and flawless rims, lead one to conclude that this beauty spent very little time in circulation. A beautifully toned No Motto seated dollar that was awarded a plus grade.
A fully struck and satiny example with for the assigned grade. Silver dollar production climbed in 1841, the second year of the Liberty Seated series. At 173,000 coins struck, the mintage of the 1841 is comparable to those of the 1842 and 1843. The 1841, however, is far scarcer in numismatic circles, making it one of the most underrated issues of its era. Attractive, fully original EF and AU survivors are elusive, more so than many collectors realize, while Mint State coins of similar quality and originality are very rare. The present example, free of sizeable handling marks, has the look of a coin that was never released into commercial channels but, rather, found its way into numismatic hands at an early date, a rare scenario for a circulation strike Liberty Seated dollar from the 1840s since what few numismatists were active in the United States at that time usually acquired Proof examples.
