Losbeschreibung

Pretty surfaces are minimally toned in iridescent silver and gold hues. Both sides are fully struck with modest field to device contrast. In addition to 293,000 circulation strikes, the Philadelphia Mint struck 600 Proof silver dollars in 1873, most of which were distributed as part of silver Proof sets. The discontinuance of this denomination may have resulted in the destruction through melting of some unsold examples. In any event, the 1873 is one of the scarcer Proof Liberty Seated dollars of the Motto design type. Survivors such as that offered here are always greeted with interest from astute collectors.
