Lot 2357
1847 Liberty Seated Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64. A rare early proof issue from the Philadelphia Mint, perhaps 15 were struck, and this is one of the best to come down to us. Fully struck throughout, and toned a deep bluish gray tone on both sides. The surfaces show only trace hairlines, and no contacts marks worth describing. PCGS has graded 6 this high, with none graded higher. The devices are well frosted, and they contrast nicely with the mirror fields. An important offering for the specialist in the series. We were unable to trace a prior pedigree, this is not the Heritage 9/95:6060 coin, but they are similar. A rare coin, and no doubt can be traced with patience as so few are known.
Estimated Value $20,000 - 25,000.
From the Michael Riordan collection.
