Been Lookin' for a while for the right one

I have been working on a Seated Liberty Dollar box of 20 set. I like to buy choice, lower mint state grade examples. I wanted one from every decade that they were made. I have four from the 1840s, three from the 1860s, and two from the 1870s. I was looking for an 1859-O to represent the 1850s. I wanted one in MS 62 or MS 63 and with good eye appeal. I would've liked to have gotten a CAC example, if I could, but they are tough to find. I saw one on another website that I really liked, but besides it’s original color, it had a big fingerprint, so I had to pass.. I stumbled onto this one for a great price. I’m now halfway done with my box of 20!! Also, felt rather blessed to get saint John’s benediction.

Seller’s description:

“The allure of this 1859-O Liberty Seated Dollar is evident. Produced in New Orleans with the intention of export to China, these silver dollars held a significant role in 19th-century trade. However, many also circulated through the trade routes of the southern United States. This specimen was carefully tucked away shortly after minting, likely in a kraft envelope, and has been impeccably preserved ever since. Encased in an older blue, PCGS, no-prong holder, the coin exudes true originality, evident in its pristine surfaces and the absence of marks. A discerning eye might infer that a conservation process at PCGS could result in an elevated grade.”

However, it will never be dipped on my watch!!

Notably, only 142 1859-O Liberty Seated Dollars bear the coveted CAC endorsement, in all grades. Given their scarcity, these coins tend to be swiftly claimed once they hit the market.
