Lot 1220
1867 Liberty Seated Dollar. NGC graded MS-65. First off, if you love gorgeous mint state gem coins, then take a look at this! Full luster in the fields is enhanced by a delicate rose tone, with gold hints and deep ocean bay blue at the rims. The centers are silvery gray, with copious frost on the devices. As to the strike, it is just about perfect, full stars, curls on Liberty, claws on the eagle, and everywhere we look, there are no signs of weakness. If one had to find something, then perhaps some faint hairlines will do, and a couple of trivial ticks on Liberty's right arm near her elbow. We note a two toning spots which may help in tracing the pedigree, one below the U of UNITED into the wing, another at the top left of the second T of STATES.
A quick review of the NGC and PCGS Population Reports will show that only 4 examples are reported as MS-65, two by each service. Neither service has graded any higher of this date. A premium coin for the date or type specialist who wants something really special for their collection.
Estimated Value $15,000-UP.
