Lot 1321
1871. ANACS graded Proof 64. Gorgeous multi-color iridescent toning on both sides. Only 960 proofs made. The naturally toned specimen offered here, while subject to a few wispy hairlines in the fields, exhibits generous arcs of electric blue and soft pastel violet toning over both sides, the balance of the coin being a lighter silvery gray. Mint records show that just shy of one-thousand Seated Liberty Dollar Proofs were struck in 1871. However, this number may have since fallen to much lower levels after years of attrition and loss. Today, the surviving numbers are a small fraction of that original total in choice condition like the present Proof 64.
Estimated Value $3,000 - 3,300.
