Delightful PR66 Cameo 1861 Seated Dollar

1861 $1 PR66 Cameo NGC. The 1,000-coin proof mintage of the 1861 Seated dollar was the second highest annual total of the No Motto type. The proof dollar was originally offered as part of proof sets, but modern researchers believe that fewer than half the coins were actually sold, and the rest were melted. This coin exhibits a sharp strike and clean surfaces, except for a few minor flaws on and around Liberty's knees. Rings of iridescent copper and electric-blue on both sides frame pinkish-golden centers. NGC has graded just two Cameo coins as PR66, while PCGS recognizes none, and neither service has certified a finer Cameo example (6/09).
