March 2020 Baltimore U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1871 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-P1. Rarity-2. Proof-64+ Cameo (PCGS). This is a simply gorgeous coin that presents superb cameo contrast between deeply mirrored fields and heavily frosted design elements. Fully struck with untoned silver-white centers and rich golden-bronze patina painting the borders. Expectably smooth for the assigned grade. Whether your intent is to build a world-class type set or a collection of Proof Liberty Seated dollars of equal quality, this specimen would serve as a highlight in your numismatic cabinet. Just 8 coins have been certified finer by PCGS in this category. The late date 1871 Liberty Seated dollar has a Proof mintage of 960 pieces. This is the second highest total for the Motto design type after that of the 1870 (1,000 Proofs), most examples distributed to contemporary collectors as part of the year's minor and silver coin Proof sets. Demand for these sets seems to have been fairly constant throughout the year as the mintage for the dollar was achieved at widely spaced intervals. Osburn and Cushing suggest that just 500 examples survive from the OC-P1 dies. These survivors are eagerly sought for specimen type and date purposes, the present example with superior quality and outstanding eye appeal. PCGS Population: 2; just 8 finer in this category. PCGS# 87019. NGC ID: 252T. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
