1864 PCGS graded PR Genuine Unc Details
. This proof
striking is somewhat subdued from an obvious cleaning. The
fields are non-reflective, but all details remain fully defined, and
the wire edge is still intact. A scant 470 proofs were issued.

Despite a low mintage of just 500 proofs, nice examples of
the date are occasionally available and this one ranks high
above others in the Gem category. Beautiful, wide rims and
a strong strike complete the powerful impression made on
this coin. Rich and colorful toning decorates the highly-
reflective, mirror fields of this Gem proof No Motto silver
dollar. Target-like hues of crimson, reddish-gold, sea-blue,
and green circle the obverse border with gunmetal-blue at
the center. One spot in the color is mentioned at 9 o'clock
between stars 2 and 3. The reverse displays turquoise-blue
at the rim with somewhat streaky lilac-gray at the center. A
fully original Gem worthy of a strong bid.

NGC graded Proof 64 Cameo
. A mostly white
and stunning example of this scarce proof issue of which
only 500 pieces were minted. 1865 marks the final year of
the No Motto type, and a Civil War Era piece in addition.
The fields are fully reflective and have a "black-ice" look
against the satiny obverse portrait. Every detail is razor
sharp and immaculate. Just a hint of natural patina is
beginning to accumulate at the border regions. This is an
exemplary specimen for the advanced collector.

The newly issued 1866 Seated dollar was
apparently saved in larger numbers because of the novelty
of the added motto to the reverse. It was fortunate that
those additional coins were saved for collectors as many
collect first-year dates for their type collections. This is a
brilliant, sparkling proof that has deeply mirrored fields and
barely frosted devices, but not quite enough contrast for a
Cameo rating. Aside from a few stray hairlines, the surfaces
are exceptional. One of only 725 pieces struck.
