- Lot Description
- 1857 Seated Liberty Silver Dollar. Proof-61 (PCGS). A second example of this normally elusive issue, this proof 1857 Silver Dollar is near-fully struck with no areas of bothersome lack of detail even over the reverse eagle. Veiled in warm silver-gray patina, a uniformly mirrored finish is easily seen at all angles. There are no sizeable contact marks, just wispy hairlines to account for the PR61 designation from PCGS.
