FROM THE BIGMO CIVIL WAR COLLECTION Really neat! We suspect this coin may be an early strike. The quality is VERY HIGH END! Fully prooflike mirrors beam boldly from all over. The mirrors actually have strong clarity. You do not have to imagine the mirrors exist. Even though you really need a strong glass to see them, you can see a few trivial scattered ticks (mostly left obverse). There is light contrast. Both sides have a deeper band of totally original navy and reddish gold that frames the rims and deep golden brown centers. The toning is NOT dull or drab. Miss Liberty and the details are frosted and are fully struck. The eye appeal is neat! Only 27,200 silver dollars were produced, many of which were exported to Latin America. Proof examples appear with much more frequency than circulation strike examples, and this near-GEM ranks just below the condition census. In June 1863, the Army of Northern Virginia began its march north. On July 1, 1863, advanced infantry units looking for a cache of shoes rumored to be in Gettysburg stumbled into a pair of cavalry brigades commanded by General John Buford. The skirmish that began early that morning quickly escalated into a full drawn battle. Over the course of the next few days in the hot Pennsylvania summer, the largest and most famous battle of the war took place. The third day’s fight, which was made famous by the full frontal assault on the Union center led by General George Pickett became known as the high watermark of the Confederacy. PCGS 17, NGC 23, CAC 6. The most recent example to sell was the Share-Issaquah Estate coin that we sold in May 2019 for $21,150 on an estimate of $11,000-$12,500. This coin is nicer! Disregard the pops, ALL PCGS CAC Mint State Seated Dollars are RARE! And this is a great example from smack in the middle of our nation's Civil War era. BigMo did all the hard work for you! Cert.
