1871 Seated Liberty Dollar, PR65 Ultra Cameo
Extraordinary Contrast for an 1870s Dollar

1871 $1 PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC. The 1871 proof Seated Liberty dollar boasts a fairly generous mintage of 960 pieces, the second highest production figure in the With Motto proof series. The coins were mostly issued in proof sets of the year. Q. David Bowers suggests the possibility that the mintage figures may be slightly inaccurate, as the totals may include pattern sets of this date that were produced in unknown quantities.
Ultra Cameo contrast is seldom encountered on coins from this era. The present coin is a magnificent Ultra Cameo Gem proof, with profound field-device contrast. The striking details are full and the fields are deeply reflective. Close examination with a glass reveals some insignificant hairlines, but no flaws are visible to the naked eye. Census: 1 in 65 Ultra Cameo, 5 finer (3/10).(Registry values: N4719)
