1860 $1 PR (PCGS#7003)

August 2020 U.S. Coins Auction

Lot Description: 1860 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-P1. Proof-63 (PCGS). The richly toned charcoal-gray obverse contrasts with a somewhat lighter reverse dressed in olive-russet, antique gold, reddish-rose and lilac-blue. The 1860 is one of the more frequently encountered Proof No Motto Liberty Seated dollars, although survivors are much rarer than the stated mintage of 1,330 pieces might imply. It is most likely that only a few hundred examples were actually released to contemporary collectors with the balance ultimately destroyed at the Mint. Specialists Osburn and Cushing (2018) suspect that just 525 specimens remain, all from the OC-P1 die pair. PCGS# 7003. NGC ID: 252E. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
