Lot Description

1870 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-3. Rarity-2. MS-63 (PCGS). Offering an appreciably different appearance than the identically graded example in the preceding lot, this handsome Choice Uncirculated 1870 dollar is dressed in smoky sandy-silver patina with vivid underlying champagne-gold iridescence. Prooflike in finish with sharp, frosty design motifs set against reflective fields. Our multiple offerings in this sale notwithstanding, this underrated late date Philadelphia Mint Liberty Seated dollar issue is very scarce to rare in all Mint State grades and more challenging to obtain than the 1871 and 1872. PCGS# 6963. NGC ID: 24ZD. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
