FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION EX CHILDS A magnificent GEM Proof 1865 silver dollar from one of the most famed collections, famous for the FINEST KNOWN 1804 dollar. While that coin made headlines when it sold for a world record price of $4,140,000, Walter Childs' other coins are also noteworthy for their superb quality. This dollar is certainly high end! Described in the August 1999 Bowers and Merena sale, lot 486, as "Satiny motifs and reflective fields. The obverse glows with warm golden iridescence at the center with electric blue, violet, and rose evenly distributed in the fields. The reverse is lilac-gray with some mint brilliance shining through in places. A lovely gem Proof Liberty Seated dollar from a Proof mintage of 500 pieces." The eye appeal of this coin is truly striking and this coin is ultra high end for the grade! Worthy of a great set. After the war concluded, the nation could begin its reconstruction. The decade following the war saw many changes, positive and negative, that had very long term effects on American society, many of which still reverberate throughout the country more than 150 years later. PCGS 28, NGC 29, CAC 4. This coin brought $16,100 in the Childs sale, and has not appeared in auction that we can find since. The most recent CAC approved example was NGC-graded and sold for $18,800 in April 2015. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $16,000. Just seven have graded finer, none have sold in five years. Good luck! Cert. Number 27972753 PCGS # 7008
