1870 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. Proof-66 Deep Cameo (PCGS).；This is an outstanding 1870 cameo Proof silver dollar, attractive and conditionally rare for both the type and issue. Lightly toned in iridescent gold and olive-orange, the boldest colors are seen at the obverse periphery. The centers appear brilliant, allowing ready appreciation of sharp field to device contrast. It is difficult for us to imagine a more desirable Proof 1870 silver dollar.<p>With 1,000 coins struck the 1870 has the highest mintage among Proof silver dollars since 1861. Even so, this issue is among the scarcer in the Motto type, and it is likely that a portion of the mintage remained unsold and were melted or placed into circulation. The delicate reflective fields and satiny devices of the present Gem are exceptionally smooth, and it is one of the finest Proof 1870 silver dollars available to todays collectors. Here is a PCGS Registry Set competition coin par excellence!<br />；From our (Stacks) sale of the John Work Garrett Collection for The Johns Hopkins University, March 1976, part of lot 304.
