Meh. Just your standard virtually-flawless Seated dollar with an unholy strike.

All seriousness aside, if this isn't a Proof it's the single strongest strike I've ever seen on a circulating piece. Old ANACS holder, ticks on the front and a couple reverse, I'm thinking PR63-ish.

Virtually all of the 1859 Philadelphia production went to the Orient. Mint State examples are vanishingly rare. This is a Condition Census coin if it's a circulation strike, and worth a whale of a lot more than a Proof of a similar grade.

She is in a Proof 64 Anacs holder. Coin is almost cam, and was offered at Proof 62 price, I could not pass her up.

The Reverse looks like it has a stronger Cameo than the Obverse does.
