1869 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. Proof-65 (NGC). This richly original specimen is dressed in a warm blend of olive-copper and silver-mauve iridescence, direct lighting calling forth vivid undertones of reddish-apricot and cobalt blue. The collector seeking a high quality example of the Motto design type need look no further than this handsome Gem. Discerning date collectors of Proof silver dollars would also be well served by the addition of this coin to their cabinet, as there are few survivors from the 600-piece Proof 1869 mintage that can compare to this specimen in terms of either quality or eye appeal. A notable condition rarity, as most certified examples in numismatic hands grade no finer than Proof-64.
