An extraordinary opportunity for the advanced collector of Liberty Seated coinage. This 1864 Silver Dollar stands among the finest known examples of a date that is both historically significant and exceptionally elusive in Gem condition.
Struck during the height of the American Civil War, the 1864 Seated Dollar saw little to no domestic circulation. As noted by renowned numismatist Q. David Bowers, most examples were exported overseas because their bullion value had risen to approximately $1.04, exceeding their face value. Many were shipped to China for use in international trade, while only a small number remained in the United States. Some found their way into circulation in the American West, where paper money was often distrusted and silver coinage remained the preferred medium of exchange.
Today, surviving Mint State examples are exceptionally scarce. PCGS has graded only 32 coins of this issue in Mint State across all grades, highlighting just how difficult these Civil War era dollars are to find in original high grade condition.
This specimen is fully brilliant with booming Mint luster, a razor sharp strike, and outstanding eye appeal. A few minor marks are all that separate it from an even higher grade, yet they do nothing to diminish the remarkable quality of this superior Gem.
From 2001 through 2024, only nine examples graded PCGS MS65 have appeared at public auction and only two of those were awarded the coveted CAC sticker. With a CAC population of just five coins and none finer, this piece represents a true condition rarity within one of the most challenging and desirable classic American silver dollar series.
A remarkable survivor from one of the most pivotal years in American history. A coin that combines rarity, beauty, and long term investment appeal.
