the appearance of the slightly proof like devices over the mirrors also lend credibility to the fact the dies were polished in a later stage of use.

I have read about the die polishing lines on the 1862's, and think they
account for some of what I see on my 1862.
These lines puzzled me for years until I researched the issue a bit further.
The photos do not capture them well, but the planchet does have a series of parallels lines.

I think the coin was dipped and/or lightly cleaned as well, however.

A nice series to collect, but definitely agree, they are difficult to find absolutely problem free.

Thank you, TypeCoin971793 and buck!

These large coins are my favorite seated types as well.

I hope to have two for my 7070 some day. If only they could be that nice.

GERMANICVS - That is a beautiful coin. We should all be so lucky to own one this pretty! As you look at what's available among raw Seated Liberty dollars (especially on ebay), your coin really stands out. The die polishing marks don't take much away from its GLORY, and because of the known issues of the '62 mintage, it's just part of the coins' story. Jack
