Description
The 1846 (O) Seated Liberty Dollar is a dollar produced at the New Orleans Mint as part of the Seated Liberty Dollars 1840-1873 series. With a mintage of 59,000, this is a scarce issue — the lower-mintage of the two mint variants. 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. New Orleans joined Philadelphia in dollar production. The 1846-O is a collected branch mint issue. Struck at the New Orleans Mint, which operated from 1838 to 1909 and produced coins prized for their historical Southern provenance. Estimated market value ranges from $547 to $19K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 26.73 grams, 38.1 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #6933.
