Description
1859 Premium Gem Proof Seated Dollar
A Splendid No Motto Type Coin
1859 $1 PR66 NGC. Ex: Simpson. Even though 800 proofs were
officially struck in 1859, an unrecorded (but apparently
substantial) number were melted as unsold at year's end. This is
one of the finest examples that remain from this low total-mintage
year, and as a No Motto dollar it assumes even greater importance
as a type coin. The surfaces appear perfect to the unaided eye, and
the devices show thick mint frost that is apparent even beneath the
considerable toning on each side. The rich red obverse center is
surrounded by blue peripheral color. The reverse has the same
colors but they are in wide, diagonal bands. The devices are fully
struck throughout. The only mentionable surface "defect" is a small
planchet flake above and to the right of the upper arrow on the
reverse.From The Bob Simpson Collection.(Registry values: N7079)
