Owner's Description
Beautiful apple-green, walnut-brown, and ruby-red natural toning embraces this lightly circulated problem-free with motto dollar. A superb example of this common date that displays uncommon eye appeal.
Although the 1872 has a slightly higher mintage (1,105,500 vs. 1,073,800 pieces), the 1871 is the most common Liberty Seated dollar in circulated grades. Most examples were exported to the Orient and subsequently melted, but many remained stateside and account for most coins in collectors hands. Survivors are almost universally unattractive due to extensive wear or, more often, impairment through cleaning, damage and/or other problems. Even many coins in straight-graded EF and AU holders have been dipped and no longer retain their original surfaces. Premium quality AU examples with full originality, as here, are surprisingly scarce, far more so than most collectors realize.
