<B>1860 $1 PR66 NGC. CAC.</B></I> Bowers (1993) notes that the high mintage of this issue is deceptive: "Proof production of the 1860 dollar was abnormally large: 1,330 pieces, the highest Proof figure in the entire Liberty Seated series, all delivered on March 8th. Only 527 were eventually sold, and the rest were consigned to the melting pot." This is a gorgeous Premium Gem proof dollar that is decorated across both sides in layers of lovely, deep original toning. Most of the design elements are crisply produced, although slight softness is noted on Liberty's upper hair detail, as well as on the centrils of obverse stars 4 through 8. Well preserved and nearly free of contact marks or hairlines, this piece should attract considerable attention from quality-conscious collectors. Census: 6 in 66, 2 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>)
