Lot Description

Confirming the Mint's practice during the era of releasing unsold Proof coins into commercial channels, this 1872 silver dollar is clearly attributed to the year's Proof issue by the OC-P1 die pairing. A die line that crosses near the top of recessed stripe 6 in the shield confirms the obverse die, while a pair of stronger die lines between the olive branch and the eagle's right talon identifies this reverse.
