Product Details:
This is an PCGS graded coin and you will receive the pictured coin. You are Buying a 1860 Seated Liberty No Motto Silver Dollar graded MS65 by PCGS OC-2, R.4. Osburn-Cushing Die State a/a. This Gem example is frosty and pinpoint sharp. Marks are few and widely separated, limited to a few random hairlines and some tiny field marks near stars 5 and 6. Intervals of reflectivity exist throughout the smooth and attractive fields that surround boldly frosted devices for excellent visual contrast. Pop 4 with only 3 higher. The 217,600-piece mintage would seemingly indicate easy availability for this Philadelphia date, but the issue is very scarce in any circulation-strike condition and rare in high Mint State. The seateddollarvarieties.com website calls the 1860 'one of the most underrated dates in the series.' In Gem Uncirculated grade such as this example the collector is three times as likely to locate a Gem proof than an MS65 business strike.
This is an excellent coin to add to your collection.

Seated Dollars (1840-1873) - No Motto (1840-1865) Silver dollar production was halted from 1804 until 1836, when Christian Gobrecht, at the direction of Mint director Robert Patterson, began producing his designs in advance of circulating production. He modeled the obverse after a drawing made by Thomas Sully. After three years, the Seated design was ready for use. Production began at the Philadelphia Mint in 1840 using the “modern” steam powered presses. The obverse featured Gobrecht’s seated Liberty rendering and a heraldic reverse eagle that features a smaller shield than the earlier Draped Bust type. The coins were produced without the motto “IN GOD WE TRUST” until the Civil War. These early seated examples were struck in relatively small quantities until production was increased in 1859. The No Motto type is beloved by dollar collectors as representations of a growing nation in the early part of the industrial revolution.
