Lot 962
1859 Liberty Seated Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 63. Even grey toning on both sides. Well struck. A sharp specimen that spares little in the way of compromises with its natural original color on both sides. Strike is sharper than average business strikes by a wide margin, which is why collectors prefer the fine detail of a Proof and why the Mint chose to sell Proofs to collectors beginning in 1858. A really attractive Proof 63 example without the usual handling marks seen on so many others. Only 800 proofs minted. Pop 33; 51 finer (PCGS # 7002) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,300.
