Lot 2826
1869 Liberty Seated Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 65. Old green holder. Wonderful shades of blue toning interspersed with crimson and gold. Only 600 Proofs minted. Pop 20; 6 finer in 66. Clean as a whistle, as one would look forward to from the Proof 65 grade; however, what really makes this break free from others is its deep mirror reflective quality that rolls around each side, with both surfaces overlaid by extremely attractive multicolor toning, as mentioned. Sales of Proof sets kept to an even level throughout much of this decade, with the mintage for 1869 being typical (very low, of course, by the standards of the 21st century). Any collector who acquires this piece will be in an enviable position (PCGS # 7017) .
Estimated Value $9,000 - 11,000.
