Gem Proof 1870 Seated Liberty Dollar

1870 $1 PR65 PCGS. For just the third (and last) time in the history of the Seated Liberty dollar, Proof mintages reached 1,000 or more pieces. The previous two occurrences (1860 and 1861), however, saw net distributions of substantially less than 1,000 pieces. Therefore, this 1870 dollar has the highest Proof mintage of any in the series. This issue also has one of the highest PCGS total populations of any proof issue (1867 has a slightly higher mintage). This is important news for the type collector. While most advanced date collectors probably already have this issue, type collectors have an ideal opportunity. Another aspect of this Gem is the significant contrast between fields and devices. As this was certified before PCGS began labeling Cameo and Deep Cameo Proofs, it doesn't have such a designation. It does, in our opinion, easily qualify as a Cameo Proof and may make a Deep Cameo designation. This is mostly brilliant with pale gold toning on both sides. The coin is highly attractive and should garner substantial bidding.(#7018) (Registry values: N4719)
