Lot 1212
1863 Liberty Seated Dollar. PCGS graded MS-62. The obverse is toned with mottled green and gold toning over luster, and the reverse silvery gray. Moderate hairlines are seen in the fields. It is worth noting that there is some doubling on the lower reverse, including the leaves, and this coin has the appearance of a well struck proof. However, the date is centered, and the fields are more satiny than reflective, indicating a regular business strike. Dr. Benson purchased this coin as a proof from B. Max Mehl, which is quite understandable.
Estimated Value $2,000 - 2,400.
From the Benson collection and purchased from B. Max Mehl on July 9, 1945 for $22.00 as "Proof".
