<B>1862 S$1 PR65 Cameo PCGS.</B></I> The 1862 is a popular proof date for several reasons. It was struck during the Civil War. The associated business strike production was only 11,540 pieces. Proofs were limited to 550 pieces, some of which were likely melted as unsold. Few proofs have survived in Gem condition. In fact, the present piece is tied with one other as the finest certified by PCGS(9/06). For pedigree purposes, we mention a small planchet flaw in the field near the lower right drapery. Delicate gold toning near the borders denies full brilliance. Impressive cameo frost is uniform throughout the devices and legends. The strike is good, although there is a hint of softness on the peak of the left (facing) wing and on Liberty's knees. Many advanced numismatists have undertaken the challenge of assembling a set of proof Seated dollars, and the No Motto issues are invariably scarcer than their Motto counterparts.<BR><I>From The Dr. Robert J.
