1857 Liberty Seated Dollar PCGS PR64
A rare early Proof Seated dollar. Approximately 50-100 proofs were struck in this year, which is sometimes confused with the business strikes since there are quite a number of fully prooflike business strikes that have in the past been labeled Proofs. The status of this coin could certainly never have been in doubt though, with its deeply reflective, mirrored fields and lightly frosted devices. The surfaces show a original and lovely smoky-gray iridescence with much lighter gray brilliance at the center. Lightly hairlined, a coin of this caliber is of great importance to the collector of pre-1858 Proofs or Proof seated dollars.
