Lot 2916
1867 Liberty Seated Dollar. NGC graded Proof 66 Ultra Cameo. Well struck and a fully white gem. A gorgeous specimen in terms of both technical quality and general visual appeal. Fully frosted cameos contrast with the smooth-mirrored fields on this remarkable specimen. The obverse peripheral stars are needle-sharp; the same goes for Liberty, her shield, and the folds in her dress, everything shows gorgeous detail. The reverse duplicates this process with areas of mint brilliance surrounding similar needle-point detail on the eagle and its shield. Magnified a hundred-fold, this coin would stand out from a mile away! Study of both sides suggests that this coin is every bit as nice as the grade implies, and then some, and reveals a coin that has been preserved with ample care since Day One. A superlative Proof with obvious originality and loads going for it. Nothing modest about it! Only 625 Proofs struck. Pop 4; None finer at either service.
Estimated Value $15,000 - 17,000.
