Proof Seated Dollars
1863 $1 PR62 PCGS. OC-P1, High R.4. Osburn-Cushing Die State a/a. Reverse rotated 20° clockwise. Just 460 pieces were struck, and perhaps as few as 210 proofs exist for this Civil War year in total. Multiple resubmissions at the grading services are indicated by the population data. The present example shows a few delicate lines that limit the grade including some short scuffs above the eagle's head, but no serious marks. A brilliant, sharply struck proof, it displays untoned surfaces save for a few glints of pale gold. Population: 56 in 62, 104 finer (10/17).
