A delightful specimen with pretty golden-russet rim toning around brilliant centers. Boldly cameoed in finish, although not designated as such on the old style NGC holder. We note sharp contrast between satiny devices and mirrored fields. An expertly produced and carefully preserved example that will appeal to quality conscious Proof type and date collectors. From a mintage of 1,000 pieces, the highest in the Proof Liberty Seated dollar series since 1861. Survivors are rarer than the mintage might imply, however, and it seems likely that many examples remained unsold at the time of striking. The undistributed coins were likely melted in the Mint in later years, mostly after July 10, 1873. As a premium quality survivor for both the issue and the assigned grade, this beautiful Choice Proof is sure to sell for a strong bid.,PCGS# 7018.,,
