Lot Description

Beautifully Toned Choice Proof 1869 Silver Dollar 1869 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. Proof-64+ (PCGS). CAC. The obverse of this Choice Proof silver dollar exhibits mottled crimson-charcoal peripheral toning around an olive-gray center. The target-toned reverse is golden-copper, steel blue and mauve-gray. A full strike and nicely mirrored finish are also present. Survivors of this 600-Proof issue are scarce to rare in Choice and finer grades, as here, and such pieces enjoy heightened demand due to the elusiveness of Mint State silver dollars of this date. Provenance: From our (Stack's) sale of the S.S. Forrest, Jr. Collection, September 1972, part of lot 872; our sale of the Blue Moon Collection, Part I, March 2017, lot 2029. PCGS Population: 1; 24 finer in this category (Proof-66 finest). PCGS# 7017. NGC ID: 252R. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
