- This very RARE R-7- (7-12 minted) Seated Liberty "die trial" ranks among the very FINEST known. Struck from the regular issue proof dies in aluminum with a reeded edge. Presumably this coin was once part of a complete Proof Set in aluminum, and perhaps 7-12 exist in all grades, (combined, PCGS and NGC have graded 6 in all grades). A wealth of CAMEO contrast is created by the deep, bold mirrors that beam from all over. The devices are fully frosted, contrasting beautifully with the mirrors. Untoned and vibrant with strong mirrors on both sides, contrasting wonderfully against the frosted devices. There is some softness to the strike in the centers, typical of the type. PCGS 3, NGC 0. The only one to ever sell in auction was in Stack's November 2009 Anniversary Sale, lot 1737 for $14,950 (this is NOT that coin). None have been graded finer at PCGS in any designation, making this among the best of the type. Here is an example of how cheap these are: in PR65 CAM a regular 1869 dollar (mintage 600) is worth about the same as this ultra rare pattern. Perhaps this will inspire a look at the value of patterns! Cert. Number 4789946 PCGS # 411246
