1845 Seated Liberty Dollar PCGS MS-61 (OGH)

Description

This piece
is a brilliant and satiny example of a key date No Motto Liberty Seated dollar issue. It is boldly struck for the type with most features sharply defined. During the 1840s silver dollars were minted at the request of bullion depositors who requested this denomination for their Gold And Silver. Those pieces that were struck did not circulate widely within the United States but, instead, were used in export trade.
As a group, Mint State Liberty Seated dollars from the 1840s are rare. There was no numismatic demand for these coins at the time of issue. The few Uncirculated coins that have survived appear to have done so largely as a matter of chance. 1
845 is the rarest silver dollar from the 1840s in Mint State. It is also one of the lowest mintage issues from that decade with just 24,500 pieces produced.
