Lot 1619
1869 Liberty Seated Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 65 Deep Cameo. Fully white. A beautiful Gem, both sides are nearly devoid of both toning and post-striking impairments. The mostly sharp devices are nicely frosted above impenetrably deep fields. The luster glows; the fields sparkle. And as befits a Proof striking, the definition is much more advantageously displayed than would be a Mint State silver dollar of the same year. Only a portion of the reverse scroll around GOD shows any soft detail. This may be more due to die polishing than anything else. (Apparently, most Proof 1869 Seated Dollars were produced from this die marriage.) The 1869 is not rare as in Proof, but examples that grade finer than Proof 64 are, in fact, elusive. This is one of the more spectacular Deep Cameo coins known to us. Only 600 proofs struck. Pop 4; 3 in 66 DCAM; 1 in 67 DCAM (PCGS # 97017) .
Estimated Value $15,000 - 16,000.
