Lot Description

1871 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. Proof-65 Cameo (NGC). A strong candidate for inclusion in a high grade specimen type set, this lovely Proof Motto Seated dollar is also noteworthy due to the strength of contrast evident between the fields and devices. The Cameo designation from NGC is fully justified as satiny, sharply impressed devices are definitely set apart from glassy reflectivity in the fields. Virtually untoned, with only a few wispy handling marks that hardly detract.<br /> <br /> <strong>Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers<br /> </strong>A pleasing example, as noted, of one of the later years of the Liberty Seated type. Ideal for any purpose -- including as mentioned, a type set.
