Colorful 1860 Dollar, PR64 PCGS

1860 $1 PR64 PCGS. The Philadelphia Mint delivered 1,330 proof Seated Dollars on March 8, 1860. The abnormally high mintage was achieved because federal authorities anticipated that, not only would all 1,000 proof sets that were made in this year sell, but the collecting public would require additional specimen strikings of the Silver Dollar as singles. The officials were mistaken, and only 527 proof 1860 Seated Dollars left the Mint. The balance of the mintage was melted as unsold. This fortunate survivor is exceptionally well preserved for the type with very few distractions to report. Its patination is a melange of smoky-gray, aqua-green, yellow-gold, violet, lilac, and ice-blue colors. The design elements are sharply struck, with no areas of discernible weakness. A few trivial marks are noted on Liberty's face, none of which are serious. A spectacularly colorful proof! Population: 44 in 64, 7 finer (9/04).(#7003) (Registry values: N2998)
