Owner's Description

Exceptional originality with attractive natural patina. I am convinced that slight striking weakness on Liberty’s knee is all that prevented a Mint State grade. Purchased in an NGC-61 holder, I am confident that it should grade mint state. Certainly, the nicest CH AU example I have ever seen. In fact, it is nicer than several examples graded Mint State.

Few Choice AU 1845 silver dollars are as undeniably and attractively original as this piece. The year 1845 mirrors that of 1844 as far as circulation strike silver dollar production is concerned. Limited supplies of silver bullion combined with limited demand for coins to use in the export trade explain the scant mintage of 24,500 pieces for the 1845. Along with the 1844 and 1848, the 1845 is one of the popular low mintage Liberty Seated dollar issues from the 1840s.
