. Lovely blue and gold toning. Well struck and very choice. Only 30 minted. Here we
present a Proof Seated Liberty Silver Dollar that rarely appears with any degree of frequency in today's active rarities market. The original
mintage of this issue is unrecorded, but numismatist suppose that somewhere between 50 and 100 pieces were sold to collectors as part of
the year's Proof sets. The high-quality Proof 64 survivor in this lot exhibits natural toning that deepens in the peripheral areas to iridescent
color. Both sides show exalted levels of nice mirrored fields with satin-textured devices that provide some cameo contrast (not mentioned on
the PCGS holder). Outwardly bothersome handling marks are usually unavoidable on these large Proofs, as one should expect for the
assigned grade, and we do find a very few little ticks on Liberty’s body at the high points and along the left arm, nothing even approaching
noticeable, however. Indeed, the eye appeal is grand, the colors exquisite. Isolated striking incompleteness over the eagle's left wing is noted
for accuracy. Advanced Seated Dollar collectors would be prudent to enter strong bids when this lovely specimen crosses the auction block.
