Description

1868 Seated Dollar, PR65
Original Toning, Ex: Eliasberg

1868 $1 PR65 NGC. OC-P2, High R.3. Ex: Eliasberg. The Eliasberg proof comes with an intriguing pedigree that traces to Ed Frossard's sale of the Friesner Collection in June 1894, where it realized $1.50. Collector demand for 1868 proof dollars has increased substantially since then, and this piece is among the most visually pleasing examples that we have seen in PR65 without a Cameo designation. Light golden interiors cede to violet, rose, and blue border toning. The strike is bold, and subtle contrast is visible on the obverse. Census: 30 in 65, 13 finer; 6 in 65 (1 in 65 ) Cameo, 7 finer; 1 in 65 Ultra Cameo, 2 finer (7/18).
