Description

Profoundly Contrasted 1862 Seated Dollar
PR65 Ultra Cameo, Only Such at NGC

1862 $1 PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC. Ex: Simpson. The 1862 proof Seated dollar mintage is recorded as 550 coins, some of which went unsold until the 1870s. The business strikes, produced to the extent of only 11,540 coins, are extremely rare in Mint State, exerting added pressure on high-grade proofs. On this Gem Ultra Cameo proof, a faint layer of gray patina has settled over the fields, but the profound contrast remains undimmed. The central devices are exactingly struck and heavily frosted, while the mirrored fields offer a signature gleam. A handful of tiny contact marks, some in the upper reverse field, mingle with shallow planchet flaws. This is the only Ultra Cameo of the issue certified at NGC in any grade (7/10).
