Lot Description

1868 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-P2. Rarity-3+. Repunched Date. Proof-64 (PCGS). A richly and originally toned specimen dressed in blended steel-olive and pewter-gray iridescence on the obverse, the reverse in lighter silver-apricot, pale pink and powder blue. The mintage of the 1868 Proof silver dollar was 600 pieces and examples were distributed as part of silver Proof sets. Encountered with a similar frequency as the other Proof silver dollars from the late 1860s and early 1870s, the 1868 is popular with collectors seeking a high quality example of the Liberty Seated type with Motto, though survivors that approach Gem quality are scarce from a market availability standpoint. PCGS# 7016. NGC ID: 252P. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
