1860 Seated Dollar, PR65 Cameo
CAC-Endorsed Brilliant Proof

1860 $1 PR65 Cameo PCGS. CAC. OC-P1, R.2. Scarce and often underrated as a circulation strike, the 1860 Seated dollar proofs are equally challenging in Gem or finer grades. A single set of proof dies was later used for some circulation strikes, a source of confusion between the two formats. PCGS has identified this coin as a proof, and it is indeed struck from the only proof dies. The strike is sharp but not full, with slight weakness of the upper hair strands on Liberty's head and some rounding on stars 4 to 6.

Visually, the coin is a hands-down Gem proof, with glassy-mirrored fields and frosted devices for strong cameo contrast. A curious depression crosses the eagle's beak, apparently a strike-through (surely seen by PCGS but not mentioned), and there is a thin, short abrasion through the first S in STATES. The coin is brilliant throughout both sides with flashy fields and outstanding eye appeal. CAC endorsement adds an additional level of approval.(Registry values: N4719)
