Lot Description

1861 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. Proof-62 (NGC). One of just 400 Proofs struck this year and a decent example for the collector as the color is pleasing of lilac-gold on both sides, with all the devices sharp. There are minor hairlines and a couple of nicks that blend into the patina, as expected. Not many of these survive in high Proof grades as their large size invites study, and not always by the most careful examiners. Today with the hard plastic cases, these coins should remain stable for a long time to come. PCGS# 7004. Provenance: From the Argo Collection.
