1859 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. Proof. Unc Details--Questionable Color (PCGS).Full razor sharp striking detail and a uniform brilliant finish enhance the appearance of this early date Proof silver dollar. Vivid cobalt blue peripheral toning on the obverse and more even blue-gray reverse color are also relatively pleasing, if not of undeniably originality to the experts at PCGS. One of perhaps just 450 or so examples distributed to contemporary collectors from a mintage of 800 Proofs, the balance of the coins melted or, more likely, placed into circulation.Acquired January 1971.
