Lot 1752
1871 Liberty Seated Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64 Cameo. A truly gorgeous and breathtaking proof Seated Liberty dollar! This specimen has all the characteristics that one desires in a proof dollar of this series. Dark magenta toning has settled into the fully reflective fields. This magenta toning shifts to a very vivid blue at the denticles and rims. Underneath this pleasing layer of color, metal flow lines shimmer and are accented by satiny luster. Meanwhile, Liberty is completely white and leads to a stunning cameo contrast. The reverse displays the same toning pattern as the obverse and the eagle and motto are bright white and frosty. A slight amount of strike weakness is seen at the top of the eagle's right wing and on the eagle's neck. There are two tiny lint marks connecting the top of the I in AMERICA to the denticles. A specimen that is so close to the gem category, only light hairlines in the fields keeping classified as near-gem. Definetely one of the finest 1871 proof dollars and one of the most appealing proof dollars we have seen in a while. PCGS has graded 4 in PR-64CAM, 1 in PR-65CAM and 1 in PR-66CAM (PCGS # 87019) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
