Lot	Photo	Description	Realized
Lot 716		Liberty Seated Dollar. 1850 Eliasberg. PCGS graded Proof 64. A truly stunning example of this early and rare proof date.

PCGS has graded only 8 of this date in proof, one in PR-62, and the balance, including this coin as PR-64! An outstanding example for the numismatist. Estimated Value $22,000 - 27,000. Ex: George H. Earle, Jr., Henry Chapman June 25-29, 1912; John H. Clapp, Clapp Estate, to Louis Eliasberg, Sr., Bowers and Merena's Eliasberg II Sale, April 6-8, 1997, lot 2217.
