November 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: Condition Rarity Gem Cameo Proof 1869 Silver Dollar Finest Certified by PCGS in the CAM Category 1869 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. Proof-66+ Cameo (PCGS). A magnificent example of both the type and issue, both sides are attractively toned in mottled olive, antique silver, powder blue and champagne-pink iridescence. Sharply struck with pronounced field to device contrast and expertly preserved surfaces, this is certainly a premium quality coin in a Proof Liberty Seated silver dollar. The collector seeking a high quality example of the Motto design type need look no further than this awe-inspiring premium Gem. Discerning date collectors of Proof silver dollars would also be well served by the addition of this coin to their cabinet, as there are few survivors from the 600-piece Proof 1869 mintage that can compare to this specimen in terms of either quality or eye appeal. A condition rarity par excellence that is worthy of the strongest bids. Provenance: From the Naples Bay Collection. Earlier from our (Stack's) sale of the Arthur B. Stewart Collection, May 1972, lot 1341. Lot tag included. PCGS Population: just 1; 0 finer in this category. PCGS# 87017. NGC ID: 252R. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
