Losbeschreibung

1864 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. MS-65 (PCGS). Incredible quality for the collector who demands Gem coins. The entire coin is fully brilliant, without a trace of toning. The strike is sharp and complete on each star and dress fold, as well as Liberty's head as each curl is rounded and showing separation. On the reverse strike is exceptional as well, right down to the eagle's talons that boast full knobs and pointed claws. Examination of the surfaces finds a few stray nicks from bag handling, but precious few indeed as this silver dollar was obviously set aside soon after it was struck and carefully preserved to maintain such a lofty grade level. The fields are incredibly clean for this design. Tied with at most five others at the Gem level with two more reported with the + and one at the top as MS-66 at PCGS.
