Proof Seated Dollars
1868 $1 PR66 PCGS. OC-P1, Repunched Date. Only 600 proof Seated Liberty dollars were struck in 1868. A single reverse die was used in combination with two obverse dies to accomplish the proof mintage. This coin represents the OC-P1 variety, with the remains of an errant 18 showing on the rim below the primary digits. This was the only use of the obverse die, but the reverse was used to strike at least one proof variety of every year from 1866 through 1870.
This remarkable Premium Gem exhibits sharply detailed design elements and deeply mirrored fields throughout. The immaculate surfaces are richly patinated in vivid shades of emerald-green, cerulean-blue and lilac toning, with fantastic eye appeal. Population: 4 in 66, 1 finer (10/16).
