Beautiful Gem Proof 1873 Liberty Seated Dollar 1873 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. Proof-65 (NGC). This is a simply outstanding survivor of the final Proof Liberty Seated silver dollar. Vivid peripheral toning in steel-blue and copper-rose frames intense brilliance in the center of the obverse. The reverse, also brilliant in the center, exhibits even more vivid midnight-blue and rose-apricot toning toward the border. Obviously preserved with great care, the surfaces offer an appearance that borders on Superb Gem quality. Sharp striking detail and bold field to device contrast - the latter suggestive of a Cameo designation - round out a truly impressive list of attributes for this specimen. In addition to 293,000 circulation strikes, the Philadelphia Mint struck 600 Proof silver dollars in 1873, most of which were distributed as part of silver Proof sets. The discontinuance of this denomination may have resulted in the destruction through melting of some unsold examples. The 1873 is one of the scarcer Proof Liberty Seated dollars of the Motto design type. Premium Gems such as that offered here are rare, and this example represents an important offering for advanced collectors. NGC Census: 15; 7 finer in this category (Proof-66+ finest). PCGS# 7021. NGC ID: 252V. Click here for certification details from NGC.
