Description
1868 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. Proof-64 Cameo (PCGS).
A dusting of silver iridescence hardly inhibits bold cameo contrast between reflective fields and frosty motifs. Fully struck, as befits the method of manufacture, with pleasing Choice quality throughout. The mintage for this issue was bleak, reflecting the dismal economic times of 1868. The Civil War was over, but the damage was still being assessed, and the American economy was struggling to get back on its feet. Thus demand for silver dollars in Proof was sluggish at best, and the total number produced came in at just 600 pieces. When one further considers the rarity of this date in circulation strike format, the significance of this offering is obvious.
PCGS# 87016. NGC ID: 252P.
PCGS Population: 23; 12 finer in this category (Proof-66 Cameo finest).
From the Pacific Rim Collection.
