1864 S$1 PR66 Cameo NGC.
1864 S$1 PR66 Cameo NGC. Although produced to the extent of just 470 pieces, Breen (1977) and Bowers (1993) report three different die marriages for the proof 1864. The present example most closely matches the diagnostics for the variety that Breen describes as B-2: 1. The obverse shield point is over the flag of the 1 in the date. 2. The right base of the 4 in the date is over the left side of a denticle. 3. Two arrowheads on the reverse are joined by a defect. 4. Unfinished areas are seen around the uppermost reverse olive leaves.This reverse die was also used to deliver some of the proof 1863 Dollars. This is one the most beautiful 1864 Seated Dollars that we have recently offered. Both sides are bright and completely untoned yielding an uncompromised view of the remarkable cameo contrast visible on each side. The surfaces are free of bothersome hairlines and contact marks, with fully defined features. The only worthwhile pedigree marker is a small, squiggly lintmark (as struck) between stars 10 and 11 on the obverse. Population: 5 in 66, 0 finer (11/03). Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
