Losbeschreibung: Incredible Quality Gem Proof 1872 Silver Dollar 1872 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. Proof-66 Cameo (NGC). An exceptionally well produced, remarkably well preserved example of the penultimate issue in the Proof Liberty Seated dollar series. Frosty and smartly impressed, the design elements contrast nicely with gently mirrored fields. The surfaces are virtually pristine and lightly toned in soft antique silver and sandy-gold iridescence that appears to drift toward the borders. From a mintage of 950 Proofs, many of which may have been melted in the Mint after the Act of February 12, 1873, abolished the standard silver dollar. Dick Osburn and Brian Cushing estimate that 575 Proofs remain, although with the typical survivor grading no finer than Proof-64, the desirability of this upper end Gem is beyond contestation. NGC Census: 2; 2 finer in this category (both Proof-67 * Cameo). PCGS# 87020. NGC ID: 252U. Click here for certification details from NGC.
