Lot 1699
1858 Liberty Seated Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 55. Antique gray surfaces coated with an old original film that now brings splashes of iridescence to the fields. Some heavier marks on Liberty's knees most likely determine the grade of this otherwise choice AU specimen. The diagnostic raised die line is present across the tops of ITE of UNITED. The 1858, as mentioned previously, is a proof-only date with a mintage of 300. It seems that over the years certain individuals have been sharp enough to pull several 1858's out of circulation, for this issue has the widest range of known circulated proof examples (from VG/VF-AU-58) for any proof Seated dollar. A rare and eternally desirable issue in a very collectible grade! Population of 5 (PCGS # 7001) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
