Lot 868
1862 Liberty Seated Dollar. NGC graded Proof 65. The Philadelphia Mint coined 550 pieces in proof, and precious few survive in grades even approaching this magnificent, stunning gem. Deep charcoal gray around the periphery, and lighter inside the stars towards a gunmetal gray, the reverse lighter with mottled peripheral toning and steel gray for the balance. Well struck on Liberty's tiny head curls, and similar on the eagle's claws, which show fine definition from the dies. Scrutiny finds minor hairlines in the fields, and one long thin line across the eagles wings and shield can be found when the coin is examined with a strong glass and light. A beautiful coin that will impress most collectors. NGC has graded 14 this high with just 6 graded higher.
Estimated Value $9,000 - 11,000.
