1869 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. Proof-67 * (NGC). This is a phenomenal Proof Motto Liberty Seated dollar,&nbsp;rare within the 1869 year, but also in the With Motto category 1866 to 1873 it is in the minority at this level. We see no distracting marks on either side.&nbsp;Razor sharp striking detail is another strong suit, as is a vibrant mint finish that is most profound in the nicely reflective fields. And as far as the eye appeal is concerned, we note handsome patination to both sides, splashes of copper-russet, olive-gray, sandy-silver and blue-gray iridescence yielding to areas of brilliance in and near the centers. One of the two finest certified examples of the Proof 1869 silver dollar issue, the other being a Proof-67 Deep Cameo listed at PCGS.<br /> <br /> <strong>Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers</strong><br /> From any perspective this indeed is a very special 1869 Proof Liberty Seated dollar, an attractive coin that is deserving of a home in the finest collection.&nbsp;
