Description
The 1873 (S) Seated Liberty Dollar is a dollar from the San Francisco Mint, belonging to the Seated Liberty Dollars 1840-1873 series. With a mintage of 700, this is an extremely rare issue — the lowest mintage among 3 mint variants, representing only less than 1% of total production. The obverse features Liberty seated on a rock, holding a pole surmounted by a Phrygian liberty cap in her left hand and a shield inscribed LIBERTY in her right and the reverse displays a heraldic eagle with shield on breast, olive branch and arrows in talons, with a banner reading E PLURIBUS UNUM. Final year of the Seated Liberty Dollar, discontinued under the Coinage Act of 1873 in favor of the Trade Dollar. Coined at the San Francisco Mint, which transitioned from Gold Rush-era production to its modern role producing proof and collector issues. Auction record: $720 UNC Details 06-28-2023 Stack's Bowers. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 26.73 grams, 38.1 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #6973.
