Owner's Description

Well struck with beautiful natural purple-blue toning that turns to deep russet around the peripheries. A sharply struck outstanding example of this common date that managed to survive the melting pots.

Demand for dollars from depositors of silver bullion remained consistent during the three-year period from 1841 to 1843. All three issues having similar mintages that are unsurpassed by those of any other issues from the 1840’s. Overall silver production remained low during this decade as there were few domestic sources, and many of the Seated dollars from this period represent re-coining of melted down Spanish silver. The 1843 vies with the 1842, 1846, and 1847, as the most plentiful Liberty Seated dollar from that decade. However, no fully original, problem free, and attractive specimen from this challenging series can be accurately defined as common.
