1870 $1 MS66+ PCGS - PCGS Price Guide $175,000 - 1870 Liberty Seated Dollar, Type 4 With Motto, stands as one of the great condition rarities of the later Seated Dollar series, and this Seated Dollar with a POP 1/0 is the single finest. Finding single finest examples in any series is no easy feat if it isn't for a variety; however, finding the finest Seated Dollar for any date is unheard off. This issue was produced during the final years of regular Seated Dollar coinage, just before the denomination gave way to the Trade Dollar in 1873, a transition driven by America’s expanding silver commerce with Asia. Many dollars of this era were coined from bullion deposits and frequently found their way into export channels or Treasury storage, making the date historically significant as a late-series Philadelphia issue from the closing chapter of pre-Trade Dollar silver dollar production. With an estimated 2,500 survivors across all grades, premium Gem representatives are virtually unobtainable, placing this example squarely at the summit of the issue’s condition census. Both sides exhibit bold, sharply rendered definition, but more importantly the surfaces are drenched in thick, undisturbed satiny-to-frosty mint luster that rolls effortlessly across the expansive silver fields, a hallmark of premium Gems from this short-lived silver dollar series. Supported by a PCGS Price Guide value of $175,000, with no auction record ever for a 66+, its combination of technical superiority, elite eye appeal, historical importance as a final-era silver dollar, and finest-known status makes it a marquee opportunity for the most advanced Liberty Seated Dollar specialist. Bear in mind the last PCGS MS66 or MS66+ or MS67 or finer last sold at auction regardless if CAC or not was more than 6 years ago, and Paradime Coins was pleased to have handled the 1866 $1 MOTTO MS67 PCGS 6 years ago. • PCGS Price Guide - $175,000 • PCGS POP - 1/0 www.ParadimeCoins.com
