<B>1840 $1 MS62 NGC.</B></I> Christian Gobrecht designed the obverse of the new silver dollar design that debuted on a regular coinage issue in 1840. Well struck on all of the design elements, this rare Mint State example has semi-reflective fields that give the piece a dynamic, flashy appearance under the light. The pearl-gray surfaces show a few light splashes of russet color. A minor rim ding is observed on the reverse near 6 o'clock, as scattered small marks and pinscratches on each side also limit the grade. Just 61,005 pieces were struck, and survivors are scarce at all grade levels. Census: 13 in 62, 8 finer (6/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>\)
