Gem Proof 1872 Seated Liberty Dollar

1872 $1 PR65 PCGS. The motto on the reverse is sharply doubled, with much of the lettering showing two distinct sets of serifs. This has been described as a doubled reverse die, by Dave Bowers and others, however, there is no evidence of doubling anywhere but the motto. This suggests that the motto may have been placed in the die in a separate operation from the rest of the design, or it was doubled in the hub. While not properly a doubled die, this is an interesting and important variety.
This Gem Proof has incredible eye appeal with rainbow iridescence on both sides. Only three finer examples of this issue have been certified by PCGS, one PR66, another PR66 Cameo, and a third PR66 Deep Cameo.(#7020) (Registry values: N4719)
