详细说明

Glorious toning of deep blue and russet with an off center headlight on Liberty’s dress of brighter copper-gold. The reverse is less intense but shows matching shades with golden gray dominating. Only 460 pieces were struck in the depths of the Civil War in the Proof format, and this is far and away one of the finer pieces known from this modest issue. Incredible toning and surfaces, and destined for a high place of honor in an advanced collection! An imperial offering for the astute numismatist. Liberty Seated Silver Dollar Proofs are all generally rare, but this is actually one of the lower mintage issues and is one of the toughest No Motto style dates issued only through 1865. Type collectors seeking high grade coins keep demand high for this series, especially for the No Motto pieces. Furthermore, expanding demand is seen in the number of date collectors assembling sets of these prized rarities. The dollar coins are big and handsome to begin with, and when found with such elegant toning present a compelling reason to collect these. More and more research is forthcoming on these Proofs, and once their true rarity is better understood, demand will likely grow. Hence, elegant gems like this stay in demand and given their rarity will likely find more buyers than sellers going forward. PCGS 8, NGC 6. This same coin was purchased for $18,880.00 (5/15) which seems too cheap for this degree of color and quality. Good luck. This coin is being sold with no reserve.
