The intense reflectivity in the fields of this business strike is remarkable, so much so that it is the sole example certified as Prooflike by NGC, as of (4/08). The piece does not display any obvious toning, but somewhat darker coloration occurs near the borders. The design elements are generally well struck, even if some of the obverse stars lack complete definition. There are relatively few surface marks for the grade. 1842 $1 --Altered Surface--NCS.

The Seated Liberty silver dollars of the 1840s were produced at a time when supplies of domestic silver were scarce, and accordingly some issues saw only token mintages, while none could be considered generous. Circulated 1842 Seated dollars are fairly common, but Mint State specimens are seldom seen. Examples in MS64 or finer are quite rare. As of (3/08) NGC has certified only 20 examples in MS64, with none finer.This piece shows the bright, semiprooflike fields that are often encountered on Seated dollars from the 1840s and 1850s. The centers show rich reddish-gray toning and are surrounded by deep blue at the margins. The strike is good but not full, with no obvious marks on either side. From The Queller Family Collection of Silver Dollars.N4719 $21,850 1842 $1 PR63 NGC. Beautifully toned in peripheral autumn-brown and cobalt-blue, as were so many silver dollars from the famous Amon Carter auction. The strike is slightly soft on the peak of the eagle's left (facing) wing, but remaining design details are sharp. A few wispy hairlines on the right obverse field are appropriate for the grade.Numismatist Duncan Lee published a study of proof Seated dollars in the August 2006 supplement to the Coin Dealer Newsletter.
