Description
1868 With Motto Seated Dollar, PR66 Cameo
A Conditional Rarity
1868 $1 PR66 Cameo NGC. Ex: Simpson. Seated Liberty dollars
from the 1860s saw extensive circulation, often overseas, so
collectors who desire attractive, high-grade examples frequently
look to proofs. The 1868, however, is tied for the lowest proof
mintage in the With Motto series, with a scant 600 specimens
struck. While most proof Seated Liberty dollars show little-to-no
cameo contrast, this specimen is one of the exceptions with
powerfully mirrored fields and frosted devices. Silver-gray centers
are complemented by light champagne toning around the rims. All of
the details are fully struck. NGC and PCGS have graded only a
handful of specimens above PR65. At the PR66 Cameo level NGC
reports a mere three examples, with an equal number finer
(6/10).From The Bob Simpson Collection.(Registry values: N7079)
