1866. With Motto. PCGS graded Proof 64 Cameo. Always of interest to collectors of 19th century proof type, only 725 proof Seated dollars were struck in 1866. Presently, this is nowhere near enough for the many collectors who wish to own one. This piece is deeply reflective in the fields, a trait that is apparent even through the lovely brick-red and deep blue peripheral toning. The devices are frosted and nicely contrasted against the highly reflective fields indicating an early strike from newly prepared dies. A beautiful, near-Gem proof example. Pop 16; 17 finer (PCGS # 87014) . Estimated Value $7,000 - 7,500. Categories: Seated Liberty Dollars
