<B>1857 $1 PR64 NGC. CAC.</B></I> As is the case with all pre-1859 Seated dollars, the proof mintage of the 1857 is unknown. Proofs are significantly scarcer than for any of the 1858 to 1873 dates, which is as expected since that date range was struck for collector sales. The proofs from 1840 to 1857 were made unofficially, presumably for sale to well-connected Philadelphia dealers. The present Choice proof is well struck apart from minor blending near the eagle's left shield corner and on the peak of the left (facing) wing. Sun-gold and ice-blue with a slightly milky appearance on the reverse field. Census: 13 in 64, 8 finer (2/08).<BR><I>From The Queller Family Collection of Silver Dollars.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
