Owner's Description
Total Graded: 3653
Total Prooflike: 5
Percentage: 0.1369%
The Seated Liberty series is roughly divided into three major types, the first of which being the Stars variety shown here. Seated Liberty coins from the 1880’s are fairly common in prooflike, but the early dates are quite scarce. The present coin is the only example of the date graded prooflike, out of a total of 5 for the type (the other 4 are from 1837).
My coin exhibits flashy fields when turned to the light, with contrasting devices. It appears to have been dipped at one point in its life, and has retoned with the purple color seen here. While I would have preferred a more original example, this piece is quite attractive. The strike is above average, but still shows a good bit of weakness.
