Lot 1721
1864 Liberty Seated Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 61 PQ. Gorgeous iridescent toning rests in the periphery and onto the rims and russet hues extend into the obverse field. Liberty is white and surrounded by deeply reflective fields that have only light hairlines. There is a light vertical hairline scuff/scratch from stars 10-13. This specimen can be identified the quickest by a lint mark that starts at the top of the 6 in the date and curves downwards to connect to the 4 in date. A small lint mark is found below star 9. On the reverse, the same pleasing iridescent hues are found peripherally and on the rims. Another small lint mark is found beneath the beak of the eagle. Housed in an old PCGS green label holder and very choice for the grade. The 1864 issues are very rare in both business strikes and proof strikes and this is a date that has always enjoyed strong demand (PCGS # 7007) .
Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,700.
