Description
Attractively Toned 1859 Seated Dollar PR63 Cameo
1859 $1 PR63 Cameo NGC. Although proofs are known for all Seated dollar dates, proof mintages were unrecorded until 1859. That year's proof emission was 800 pieces, but an unknown number of those were eventually melted by the Mint as unsold. Per Duncan Lee, the proof 1859 is slightly scarcer than any of the 1862 to 1865 proofs, which had significantly smaller mintages of 460 to 550 pieces.The present specimen has splendid orange-gold fields framed by peripheral cherry-red and navy-blue patina. The strike is needle-sharp, and the preservation is exemplary save for a faint patch of inconspicuous vertical hairlines on the right obverse field. Census: 5 in 63 Cameo, 13 finer (2/08).
