FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION This MONSTER coin is the FINEST KNOWN 1862 Proof Dollar in any designation. BigMo picked the ultimate prize! Powerful mirrors look like a sheet of ice. Only with a strong glass can you find any light stray lines. The mirrors are also clean overall, have remarkable clarity, and are incredibly reflective. The obverse has a gorgeous mix of totally original and vibrant royal blue, forest green, deep violet, and gold colors that swirl all over. The reverse was probably sitting on felt for many years and has a firecracker violet, blue, gold, and green color scheme. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and have exceptional strikes. The eye appeal is fantastic! It is very interesting to note that the U.S. Mint did not accept the newly issued Legal Tender notes for payment of Proof Sets. Thus the mintage was only 550 Proofs struck. This low mintage, combined with hardship of the war led to a poor survival rate in high grade, the typical example is in the PR62 to PR64 grade range. Gem grade coins are truly RARE and in this lofty state, virtually unique! PCGS 2, NGC 9, CAC 2. This is the ONLY PR66+ graded (of course there are NONE higher). The only PR66 to ever sell was in our February 2014 Regency Auction, which realized a world record price of $70,500. If you collect Proof Seated Dollars - make that the FINEST Proof Liberty Seated Dollars (Civil War era too) - this is the coin you want! The current PCGS Price Guide value is $70,000, but keep in mind that BigMo paid up to buy this coin (he had to beat other competition). The reserve is slightly below his cost. Cert. Number 27400957 PCGS # 7005
