Lot 0036 1855 Liberty Seated $1 ANACS AU58
Toned. A very scarce issue in all grades: only 26,000 made. Continuing a trend begun in 1853 when the price of silver on the world markets broached the "export point" for America's dollar coinage, the 1855 was intended primarily for use in the United States' export trade. Since most examples that left America's nation's shores were undoubtedly melted overseas, it is easy to understand why the 1855 silver dollar is so difficult to obtain at any level of the grading scale.
