1873 Seated Liberty Dollar, PR64+
Rare Deep Cameo Example

1873 $1 PR64+ Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. A meager mintage of 600 proof Seated Liberty dollars was accomplished in 1873, the low figure undoubtedly due to the fact that the denomination was discontinued in March, to be replaced by the Trade dollar later in the year. Many of the coins that were struck were undoubtedly among the 2,258 silver dollars sent to the melter on July 10, 1873, after the weight change in lower denomination silver coins took effect. As a result, the 1873 proof Seated dollar is rare at the PR64 grade level, with Deep Cameo surfaces, and finer examples are very rare.

This high-end Choice example offers sharply detailed design elements and well-preserved brilliant surfaces throughout. The brilliant fields are brightly reflective and contrast profoundly with the frosty devices. Eye appeal is extraordinary. Population: 8 in 64 (2 in 64+) Deep Cameo, 4 finer (12/14).
