Description
1855 Seated Liberty Dollar, PR66
Tied for Finest Certified
1855 $1 PR66 NGC. The 1855 proof Seated Liberty dollar is an
underrated issue from an unknown, but certainly small mintage. Q.
David Bowers estimates the surviving population at 20-33 examples
in all grades. NGC and PCGS have combined to certify 46 examples
between them, including an unknown number of resubmissions and
crossovers (3/16) -- a number that has not changed appreciably in
recent years. The coins were struck using one obverse and two
reverse dies. This piece was struck from the leftover reverse die
used to strike proofs in 1854.The present coin is a delightful Premium Gem, tied with one other coin at NGC for finest, although one coin has been certified PR66 Cameo (3/16). The design elements are sharply detailed and the fields are brightly reflective under vivid shades of lavender-gray and violet toning. The surfaces are immaculately preserved and eye appeal is terrific.(Registry values: N10218)
