1873 Seated Dollar, PR66 Ultra Cameo
Only 600 Pieces Struck

1873 $1 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. Only 600 proof Seated Liberty dollars were struck in 1873, and it is likely that many were melted in July of that year when the weight was adjusted on the other silver denominations. The Seated Liberty design was retired after 1873 and the issue is always popular with type collectors.

The present coin is a spectacular Premium Gem that exhibits razor-sharp definition on all design elements. The richly frosted devices contrast profoundly with the deeply mirrored fields to produce a stunning cameo effect. The brilliant surfaces show just a trace of pale gold toning, with no mentionable distractions. Eye appeal is extraordinary. Census: 2 in 66 Ultra Cameo, 1 finer (6/13).
From The Greensboro Collection, Part IV.
