Description & Analysis

Proofs of this date are more available than for earlier dates in the series, and that is due mostly to the creation of restrikes made a few years after the fact. Coin collecting in America first gained notoriety and popularity in the late 1850s, and it's believe that this provided the impetus for creating additional proofs. The most common (OC-P2) of the three die marriages known for proof 1854 silver dollars utilized a reverse die used previously to coin proofs dated 1859, a fact that may be established by studying die states. OC-P1 featured the perennial reverse die used to coin proofs from 1840 onward, 1854 representing its final appearance, and the very few examples from this marriage may be considered originals struck that same year. OC-P3 falls between the other two in rarity, but its products are generally lumped together with those of OC-P2 as simply Restrikes. The single obverse die employed for these two marriages reveals two misplaced, duplicate numerals 4, one embedded in Liberty's base and the other peering out from the denticles. Osburn and Cushing estimate three original survivors and 40 restrikes. Gems are quite rare, as are any coins revealing Cameo or Ultra Cameo contrast.
