1861 S$1 MS64 PCGS. Although the Mint Act of February
<B>1861 S$1 MS64 PCGS.</B></I> Although the Mint Act of February 21, 1853 reduced the weight of the half dime, dime, quarter, and half dollar, the silver dollar's weight was unchanged, which made it a target for bullion dealers. So many dollars of this issue found the melting pot that the 1861 is very scarce as a business strike; in fact, proofs appear at auction more often than XF or AU coins. Mint State pieces are also seldom seen. This piece is well-defined throughout with even, satiny luster. The golden-gray patina that covers the coin has traces of rose and blue.
