History
Proof striking. Proofs were struck for collectors and sold separately from circulating coinage; this is a distinct coin from the 1853 Seated Liberty Dollar. MINTAGE CLEARED 2026-07-22: previously 46110. 46,110 is the BUSINESS strike mintage of the 1853 Seated dollar, not a proof figure — an 1853 proof delivery would be in the tens, not tens of thousands.
