1870 $1 PR65 Cameo NGC
<B>1870 $1 PR65 Cameo NGC. CAC.</B></I> Breen-5482. Both the business strike and proof issues of the 1870 had unusually large emissions in relation to the series--415,000 and 1,000 coins, respectively. The obverse of this proof die marriage shows a high date, with rust marks in the drapery and at the crook of Liberty's elbow on her left (facing) arm. On the reverse (same die used to coin some proofs of 1869) there is slight evidence of lapping, showing as incompleteness on the scroll below IN G and ST in the motto. <BR> Although NGC has certified well over 100 proof 1870 Seated dollars, less than three dozen are certified with Cameo contrast, and there are none certified Ultra Cameo. In PR65 Cameo this coin is one of 11 so graded, with four Cameo coins finer, two each in PR66 and PR67 (3/08).<BR> The contrast between the fields and devices is almost pronounced enough for an Ultra Cameo designation. Both obverse and reverse are covered with lovely reddish-gray toning. The fields are very lightly hairlined and--evident only when closely examined--there are a couple of mint-made planchet flakes out of the lower reverse.<BR><I>From The Queller Family Collection of Silver Dollars.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
