- 1872 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-3. Rarity-1. Misplaced Date, Doubled Die Reverse. MS-62 (NGC). This is a richly toned example displaying deep crimson and sapphire on the obverse, while the reverse is bathed in golden-orange iridescence. Lustrous in the protected areas with a suitably bold strike in a circulation strike Motto Liberty Seated dollar. Specialists will appreciate that this is an example of Breen's "Blundered Date" variety, which shows faint remnants of a date logotype originally entered much too high -- actually within the rocky base below Liberty's portrait. One of only two issue of this type with a mintage of more than 1,000,000 pieces, the 1872 is a common coin in circulated grades. At the Mint State level, however, the story changes and examples become increasingly difficult to locate the higher one progresses up the numismatic grading scale. This scarce survivor is sure to catch the eye of high grade type collectors and series specialists alike. PCGS# 6968. NGC ID: 24ZJ. Click here for certification details from NGC.
