Lot 0052 1864 Liberty Seated $1 PCGS MS65
With a limited business strike mintage of 30,700 coins and its use in export trade, the 1864 is very scarce at all higher levels of preservation. This is a magnificently preserved Gem whose surfaces gleam with frosty near perfection. Sharp-looking devices are seen on both sides, giving the coin an unusual sharp appearance. Of particular note are the fully separated hair strands on Liberty's head and the crisp feathers on the eagle's legs. The usual slight bluntness in the definition at the top of the wing is missing here, fortunately. In other words, a coin that is accurately graded and a delight to behold. This conditionally rare example is virtually unobtainable better than this. If you have passed the age of instant susceptibility where you act before reasoning, then there is only one reason to bid on this particular coin: it is a delight to contemplate possessing such a remarkable coin.
