1869 $1 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar NGC PF-67* Cameo

The 1869 Seated Liberty dollar, with a proof mintage of just 600 coins, is a prized rarity among collectors, valued not only for its limited production but also as a high-quality substitute for the scarce business strikes of the same year. Only 400 specimens struck and delivered in February and March 1869, followed by smaller batches of (50) coins on May 12, (50) on July 12, and (100) on October 8.

Graded PR67 Cameo by NGC with the coveted Star (*) designation, this specimen is one of only three Cameo examples at this grade level certified by NGC as of September 2025, with none graded higher. There is a sole Deep Cameo showing in the Census.

This Superb Gem is a visual masterpiece, showcasing Christian Gobrecht’s Seated Liberty design with fully struck, richly frosted devices that stand in bold relief against lightly toned silver-gray fields. The powerful mirror-like reflectivity of the fields enhances the astonishing cameo contrast, far exceeding expectations for a coin merely designated as Cameo. Virtually flawless under scrutiny, the surfaces are brilliant and pristine, offering unparalleled eye appeal. This coin is among the finest known. Its rarity, condition, and striking beauty ensure it will draw intense interest from RedBook Type Set or Seated Liberty Dollar enthusiasts.
