Description
Stunning 1865 Seated Liberty Dollar
PR65+ Ultra Cameo, Last No Motto Issue
1865 $1 PR65+ Ultra Cameo NGC. The final year of the Civil
War was also the last for the No Motto Seated dollar designs, due
to the upswell in religious belief that the catastrophic conflict
engendered. The 1865-dated Seated dollars are accordingly the last
of their kind, although some 1865-dated pattern With Motto silver
dollar proofs (Judd-434), transitional issues, are known. The
present Gem Ultra Cameo presents unusual and stunning quality for a
proof from this challenging era, early in the Mint's status as
official marketer-purveyor of proof coins to collectors. The
devices are thickly coated with mint frost; profound mirrors
characterize the fields. The surfaces are largely ice-white, with a
suggestion of russet and blue-gray on the obverse. The strike is
full throughout, and minor field contact -- chiefly in the left
obverse -- limits an even finer grade. The reverse die is a
carryover from 1863. Census: 1 in 65+ Ultra Cameo (this piece), 7
in 66 Ultra Cameo finer (3/11).(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 252K, PCGS# 97008, Greysheet# 7321)
