Lot 1215
1865 Liberty Seated Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 63. Deep smoky gray in color and very well struck and preserved. Under a light, the surfaces come alive with iridescent blue and red hues on both sides. The fields show minor hairlines which account for the grade. Only 500 struck, this certainly one of the better ones to survive.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,400.
From the Benson Collection and purchased from B. Max Mehl on June 20, 1945 for $18.00. We note that the Mehl envelope notes a lot number, #463, and this is possibly from Mehl's June 12, 1945 sale.
