The unprecedented crossover underscores his personal efforts to combat “grade inflation.”
A fascinating and unique rarity created when a single proof 1851 dollar was struck over a previously-struck 1851-O Seated dollar. The previously features of the 1851 were mostly obliterated during the second strike, but the remains of the O mint mark are still faint but clear, thus creating a unique, rare coin.
