GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 07/09/2018 09:53 am Would appreciate your comments regarding the condition of this Seated dollar. The pictures accurately reflect the tone and also (partially) capture the reflectivity of the fields. Another thing which interests me is whether this is a circulation or proof strike. Based on the what I have read on the internet this would be a circulation strike, but would like to have some further opinions. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

PR58 seems correct. Beautiful Seated dollar! Report this Post to the Staff

GERMANICVS Pillar of the Community Germany 1849 Posts	Posted 07/10/2018 12:07 pm Thanks for the input. I think you guys are correct that this is a circulated proof strike. I was not sure, thinking that it was a well struck circulation coin, but I found an interesting website this morning which discusses Seated dollars in great detail: (I hope it is OK to link this, if not moderators please remove, thanks) http://seateddollarvarieties.com/In...uction.shtml It mentions that a characteristic of the one obverse die used for 1861 is slight doubling on the right side of the horizontal lines on the shield. I think this is shown on this close-up of the shield on my coin: Edited by GERMANICVS 07/10/2018 12:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
