Lot Description

1870 Seated Liberty Silver Dollar. Proof-63 Cameo (PCGS). Layered in a softly frosted texture, the devices offer marked contrast to reflective-finish fields. Delicate golden iridescence is evident throughout, as is razor-sharp striking detail. Of wispy hairlines we see very few, and certainly none that are outwardly distracting. This late-date proof Seated Dollar is scarcer in today's market than a mintage of 1,000 pieces might imply.
