Description
The 1872 (S) Seated Liberty Dollar is a dollar produced at the San Francisco Mint as part of the Seated Liberty Dollars 1840-1873 series. With a mintage of 9,000, this is an extremely rare issue — ranked 2nd of 3 mint variants by mintage, with less than 1% of 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. Carson City dollar production continued. The 1872-CC is collected as a Comstock Lode-era coin. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, established during the California Gold Rush and now primarily producing proof and collector coins. Estimated market value ranges from $839 to $47K 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 #6970.
