Lot 1551
1869. NGC graded Proof 64. The Proof 1869 Seated Dollar was struck to the extent of 600 specimens, a mintage figure similar to that of the other proof With Motto Seated dollars from the 1860s. Although also popular with type collectors, this issue enjoys its greatest demand from Seated dollar date collectors who understand the rarity and the conditionally challenging nature of the 1869 business strike.
Splashes of golden-tan and sky-blue toning grace the proof surfaces in a somewhat streaky, attractive fashion. A sharply executed strike highlights the design elements, which yield mild contrast with the mirrored fields, but not enough for a Cameo designation. A few wispy hairlines keep this specimen from full Gem status. Pop 51; 33 finer (PCGS # 7017) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
