Description
Splendid 1868 Seated Dollar, PR67 ★ Cameo
1868 $1 PR67 ★ Cameo NGC. While the post-Civil War Seated dollar mintage of 1868 business strikes surged from 1867's 46,900 pieces to 162,100 coins, the number of proof coins actually decreased a bit, from 625 to 600. This piece shows minor recutting on the flag and base of the 1 in the date, and the lower inside loop of the second 8 is repunched. Bowers writes in his Silver Dollar Encyclopedia that "double punching is evident on early strikes, fading on later impressions. The more obvious the repunching, the rarer." This splendid coin is well-deserving of the Star rating for its over-the-top eye appeal. Original patina on the obverse blends ocean-blue with violet and pinkish-gold, with more lilac hues prevailing on the reverse. The strike is just short of full, despite light roller marks in the center obverse. Generous luster radiates beneath the moderate toning. Census: 2 in 67 ★ Cameo, 0 finer (11/09).(Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 252P, PCGS# 87016, GSID# 7332)
