Bid Information
For your convenience, the bid information on this page automatically refreshes with the most up to date data so you don't have to refresh/reload this page.Minimum Next Bid
Bid increments determine the lowest amount you may bid on a particular lot. Normally, bids must be at least one bidding increment over the current bid. However, podium, fax, phone and mail bidders submit bids at various times without knowing the current bid and must be on-increment or at a half increment (called a cut bid). Any podium, fax, phone, or mail bids that do not conform to a full or half increment will be rounded up or down to the nearest full or half increment. However, for Internet bids, these increments only apply to the current bid. Internet bids greater than one increment over the current bid can be any whole dollar amount. It is possible under several circumstances for winning bids to be between increments, sometimes only $1 above the previous increment.Number of Bidders
This number represents the number of individual bidders prior to the close of Internet bidding on each lot. An individual who bids more than once is still counted only once. During the live session, only the winning bidder is included in this number, although detailed records are kept of all forms of bids.Status
Reserve (If Any) Not Posted Yet:
Although many lots will not get reserves, this signifies that we have not yet posted any reserves to this entire auction. Reserves are usually posted approximately 3 days prior to the closing for Internet-only auctions, and approximately 7 days prior to the live session for Signature auctions.
Consignor Has Not Yet Submitted a Reserve:
Although the consignor's agreement allows a reserve on this lot, the deadline for submitting such a reserve has elapsed. If consignor submits a reserve post-deadline and the item fails to meet that reserve, we may charge the consignor a higher reserve fee.
No Reserve:
This lot is being sold without a consignor reserve.
(Note: By law, consignors may still bid under certain conditions, but they are responsible for paying the full Buyer's Premium and Seller's Commission if they do.)
Reserve Not Met:
A reserve has been posted on this lot, but no bids have met the reserve. The current bid has been set to the reserve amount, and the next bid will meet the reserve.
Reserve Met:
Reserves have been posted for this auction, and there is a reserve on this lot that has already been met.
Minimum Bid:
Lots bearing bidding estimates shall open at Auctioneer's discretion (approximately 25% to 60% of the low estimate).

Description:
1876 'Liberty at the Seashore' Dollar
Struck in Silver, Judd-1467
PR66, Tied for Finest Known
1876 $1 Dollar, Judd-1467, Pollock-1618, High R.7, PR66 NGC. The obverse shows Liberty seated on the seashore, holding an olive branch, with conjoined flags behind her. A steamship is in the distance. Liberty's left hand rests on a globe inscribed LIBERTY, although the word is rather weak on all examples we have seen. Between the base and the date, IN GOD WE TRUST is presented in a cartouche. The reverse is rather plainly laid out, with ONE DOLLAR in the center, surrounded by an olive wreath. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA rings the upper margin and E PLURIBUS UNUM in small letters at the bottom reverse. Struck in silver with a reeded edge.Three of the five pieces identified in the following roster were struck on Trade dollar planchets, suggesting that this pattern variety was intended as a Trade dollar pattern, even though the reverse inscription suggests otherwise. The Judd-1467, 1468, and 1469 patterns should be included among the many U.S. Trade dollar patterns produced in the 1870s. It is said (by Adams and Woodin) that just five were struck, and we list exactly five different examples below. NGC has certified five submissions, including this and another PR66, a PR65 Cameo, and a PR64. PCGS has certified two submissions, a PR63 and a PR64.
This Premium Gem is tied with the King Farouk specimen as the finest certified, and its aesthetic desirability suggests that it is the single finest known example. Both sides have fully mirrored fields and lustrous devices, created a desirable cameo contrast beneath the gorgeous gray-gold surfaces. The borders have delightful blue and iridescent peripheral toning. The overall appearance is entirely original and pristine, easily a coin for those who desire the best available quality.
We are able to account for the following examples:
1. PR66 NGC. Abe Kosoff, 1/1956, envelope included. The present example.
