Pre-Long Beach Auction #84

1869. NGC graded MS-64. Despite the large mintage of 423,700 pieces, the 1869 Seated Liberty dollar is seldom encountered in Mint State grades. Apparently most of the was exported to the Orient. This example exhibits attractive reddish-golden and russet toning over each side with accents of deep blue at the margins. A certain reflective character is also seen in the fields. The strike is sharp throughout, with no obvious or overly distracting marks on either side. Pop 10; 3 finer in 65.
Estimated Value $8,500 - 9,000.
