The 1847 Seated Liberty Dollar was struck at the Philadelphia Mint during the early No Motto period of the Seated Liberty dollar series. Silver dollars of this era circulated sparingly, and many surviving examples show evidence of handling or storage rather than heavy circulation.
AU-58 (About Uncirculated) indicates only trace wear on the highest points, with most original luster intact and strong overall detail.
