About this coinHistory

Proof mintage for the 1843 Seated Liberty dollar is unrecorded, with only a handful of specimens known. The Mint's proof production during the 1840s was entirely bespoke: coins were struck on request for individuals with the connections and willingness to purchase them directly. No public sales program existed, and no formal records tracked how many proofs were made for each denomination each year. The 1843 proof is extremely rare.
