1862 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. Proof-62 (NGC).

A desirable Proof dollar with deep blue-violet and bronze patina that yields lighter peach hues at the centers. A few scattered marks are visible in the fields under a glass, but the eye appeal remains strong for this grade level. Well struck and undoubtedly original. Similar in overall rarity to the 1859 and 1860, the 1862 is one of the more frequently encountered Proofs of this type. On the other hand, demand from high grade type collectors seeking a No Motto Liberty Seated dollar is strong. When combined with the additional demand from series specialists looking for an alternative to a Mint State 1862 silver dollar -- which coins are rare -- Proofs of this date are quite scarce from a market availability standpoint. This is a particularly desirable survivor from a mintage of 550 coins, expertly produced and carefully preserved. A perfect coin for inclusion in a high quality specimen type or date set.

PCGS# 7005. NGC ID: 252G.
