Trivia Question (Seated Dollars)

[EVillageProwler]

Let's discuss my favorite series: Liberty Seated Dollars.

 

1. There are eight dates that, in MS, frequently come with prominent die polish lines. Name them.

 

2. Of the two O-mint Treasury Hoard dates, which one is conditionally scarce in ChMS or better? (Please don't guess!)

Chris,

 

I assume that you're trying to answer the 2nd question... Sorry, but you didn't really answer the question, unless you mean to say that neither the '59-O nor the '60-O are conditionally scarce in ChMS or better. In that case, you'd be wrong.

I will say 59o is rarer. Went to NGC pop report and PCGS prices. This is where I got info

 

Date grade pop price

59o

ms63 = 18 $ 6850

ms64= 16 $7800

ms65= 1 none

total pop 35

 

60o

ms63 = 31 $ 3100

ms64 = 21 $ 6850

ms65 = 7 $21000

ms66 = 3 none

total pop 63

Up until a few years ago, both O mints were very rare in Very Choice and above. Then the high grade Chimney hoard (and the Pittman) 1860-O's came on the market and now only the 1859-O is rare.

Isn't anyone going to attempt the 1st question?

Looking forward to the answer because all I have is a guess. I've been eyeing the series for a long time and still need one the the type set, but it is just going to have to be a in hand first purchase I believe. that with the fact that the phx show is yearly,,,,,,,, maybe this time I'll feel knowledgeable enough to aquire a nice one.

TDN is correct about #2. Perhaps he who occupies the top spot for the MS Seated Dollar Set can give a serious attempt at the first question...

I have seen 1861 and 62 coins with heavy die polish lines. That would lead me to believe it occurred in the 1860's.

I thought that we established in the Registry Forum that he's a slab collector and not a coin collector.

Unfortunately, it will be several weeks before I get the coins delivered, so it appears for now that I am neither!

[EVillageProwler]

Maybe he who has the #1 SD set will learn something...

 

 

The '42, '45, '51, '60, '61, '62, '63, '64. Some would say '65 as well, but I've never personally seen one. The '45, '51 and '64 are really tough to find in UNC, so it's for anyone to see the striations.

 

I chose this question because it helps people to know what one of these dates should look like. If you're careful, you can find one with a really nice cameo contrast. Those would be lovely indeed!

Got half of it, plus partial credit for the other half. Not bad for an amateur!

[EVillageProwler]

Not bad for an amateur indeed! That'll be $5 please...
