Final-Year 1873 Seated Liberty Dollar, PR65 Cameo

1873 $1 PR65 Cameo PCGS. Ex: Simpson. 1873 was an important year for numismatics (and the country) as the Coinage Act of 1873 ushered in significant changes for the nation's coinage. It effectively ended bimetallism in the United States, discontinued the two cent piece, silver three cent piece, half dime, and Seated Liberty dollar, authorized the Trade dollar, and reorganized the Mint under the auspices of the Department of the Treasury. The 1873 Seated Liberty dollar represents this historic moment and one of the bill's casualties.
This boldly impressed Gem has fully defined star centrils and above-average cameo contrast. Iridescent blue, green, and gold toning is seen on the obverse, while the reverse has attractive lighter green and gold accents. A perfect piece for a type collector with an eye for quality. Population: 2 in 65, 0 finer (6/10).
