Lot 1710
1850 Liberty Seated Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 62. Mostly untoned with a hint of light gold tone. As the Nineteenth Century reached its midpoint, about 20 silver dollars were coined in Proof. Breen notes that two obverse dies were used to coin them, this piece has the repunched base of the 0 in the date (Breen-3), but does not have the die crack through the base of the date. It also has several tiny handling ticks on both sides, and minor hairlines, accounting for the grade. The coin is generally untoned save for a thin band of album toning around the raised rim of the obverse and reverse. PGCS has graded 1 coin as such, with 7 graded higher (all PR-64) some of which may be attempts at upgrades, but we don't know for sure. Pop 1; 1 in 63; 5 in 64; only 7 graded in total (PCGS # 6991) .
Estimated Value $15,000 - 17,000.
