Lot Description

1859 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. Proof-66 (NGC). Beautiful original toning covers each side of this premium Gem Proof dollar, primarily in shades of steel-green, lavender, and rose-gray with flashes of gunmetal-blue when examined under a light. Sharply struck on the central devices with expertly preserved surfaces that are distraction-free. A paltry mintage of 800 pieces for the year keeps the limited number of Gems in high demand, especially when found with such appealing toning.
