Quote: Sentimental, though; the first LS50c I ever bought, and still own 20+ years later. Excellent!  Quote: Yes, I cleaned it, as a kid, with Wright's Silver Cream. We all make mistakes, but she seems to have survived the ordeal.

1859-O Seated Liberty dollar PCGS MS-60 Rattler HolderThis coin (only the second dollar posted to this thread) is most likely from a US treasury hoard released in the early 1960s of 1859-O and 1860-O Seated dollars. The hoard is characterized by mint state coins that are heavily bag marked. Anywhere from 1000-3000 coins were in the hoard according to Q David Bowers on Coinfacts. "Treasury hoard coins: While many 1859-O and 1860-O dollars were sent to the Orient shortly after their minting, and were subsequently melted, enough remained within our own borders that circulated specimens are encountered with some frequency today, for reasons given above. Some of these trace their pedigree to inclusion in mixed bags of mostly worn coins released by the Treasury 1962-1964; such bags contained worn examples of most dates 1840-1873. During the same 1962-1964 Treasury release of backdated silver dollars, it is believed that one to three mint-sealed bags of 1,000 Uncirculated coins, amounting to as many as 3,000 coins totally, were distributed. Almost without exception, the coins from these bags are heavily bagmarked and scarred, the result of careless storage, handling and shipping procedures over the years, the average grade today being MS-60 or just slightly better."
