Lot Description

1868 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. Proof-64 (PCGS). Medium blue-gray toning on both sides in a somewhat mottled fashion, and a bit hazy as these early Proofs are often found. The mintage was bleak, reflecting the dismal economic times of 1868, the Civil War was over, but the damage was still being assessed, and the American economy was struggling to get back on its feet. Thus demand for silver dollars in Proof was sluggish at best, and the total number sold came in at just 600 pieces. This example is sharp, with the mirror fields showing only minor signs of hairlines. This obverse has the regular date, not the double date variety mentioned by Breen. PCGS# 7016. NGC ID: 252P.
