1869 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. OC-P4. Rarity-5-. Misplaced Date, Doubled Die Reverse. Proof-67 * (NGC). An essentially perfect specimen free from distracting marks on either side. Razor sharp striking detail is complemented by vibrant mint luster across the devices. The reflectivity in the fields provides a handsome contrast that is emphasized under a light source. The eye appeal is superior and fully deserving of the * designation from NGC, boasting radiant patination with splashes of copper-russet, olive-gray, sandy-silver and blue-gray iridescence yielding to areas of brilliance in and near the centers. 600 Proof dollars were struck by the Philadelphia Mint in 1869 from four distinct die pairs. The OC-P4 variety, as offered here, is among the scarcest with just 60 estimated survivors, most of which are in grades of Proof-65 or lower. This piece is a truly remarkable survivor, ranking as the sole finest certified by NGC in this category, and none rank finer in any cameo designation. A beautiful Superb Gem Proof that is surely destined for a world-class type set or specialized collection of Liberty Seated dollars.
