1867 Complete Proof Set of Minor and Silver Coinage

The United States Mint prepared up to 625 Proof sets of minor and silver coins in 1867, a year that is noteworthy for the low mintage status of many of the corresponding circulation strike issues. While Walter Breen (1989) had seen at least one original cased 1867 Proof set he cautions, "Doubtless some sets now extant have been assembled." That offered here has strong claim to being fully original, based on the uniform technical quality and, especially, the similar toning seen on most of the silver pieces. As well, it does not contain an 1867 With Rays Shield Nickel - a coin that Chief Coiner Archibald Loudon Snowden refused to make for inclusion in the year's Proof sets. In any event, this is certainly one of the few 1867 Proof sets available to today's advanced collectors.

1867 Proof Set of Minor and Silver Coinage

Complete 1867 Proof Set of Minor and Silver Coinage. (NGC).

All examples are individually graded and encapsulated by NGC in consecutively numbered holders, 615291-001 through 615291-010. Included are:

1867 Indian Cent. Snow-PR1. Proof-65 RB (NGC). CAC. CMQ. Fully struck with semi-reflective fields and slightly speckled rose-brown patina to otherwise pinkish-rose surfaces.

1867 Two-Cent Piece. Proof-64 RB (NGC). Somewhat streaky olive-copper patina with underlying pinkish-red mint color shining forth nicely as the surfaces rotate into direct lighting.

1867 Silver Three-Cent Piece. JD-1. Rarity-2+. Proof-63 (NGC). CAC. CMQ. Peripheral toning in pretty reddish-gold iridescence frames otherwise silver-tinged surfaces.

1867 Nickel Three-Cent Piece. JD-2. Rarity-5. Centered Date. Proof-63 (NGC). CAC. CMQ. Sharply struck and dressed in pale toning in iridescent powder blue and champagne-apricot.

1867 Shield Nickel. No Rays. JD-2. Rarity-2+. Type II Reverse. Proof-64 (NGC). CAC. CMQ. Multicolored pastel iridescence decorates smartly impressed, softly frosted motifs and subtly reflective fields.

1867 Liberty Seated Half Dime. JD-1. Rarity-3-. Low Date. Proof-64 (NGC). Gold CAC. CMQ-X. Dressed in vivid bulls-eye toning of olive-copper, cobalt blue and reddish-apricot, this stunning specimen presents as a Gem Cameo Proof in most viewing situations. Very conservatively graded in its current NGC holder, and worthy of an aggressive price paid.

Gold CAC Stickered Population: just 1 in all grades, all categories.

1867 Liberty Seated Dime. JD-1, Fortin-103. Rarity-2+. Proof-65 (NGC). Essentially untoned centers are framed by halos of delicate champagne-gold peripheral iridescence.

1867 Liberty Seated Quarter. JD-1, Briggs 2-B. Rarity-4. Proof-63 (NGC). CAC. A smartly impressed, brilliant-finish Proof with mottled iridescent blue-gray, sea-green and pinkish-silver toning that is boldest at the right borders on both sides.

1867 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. JD-1. Rarity-2+. Proof-62 (NGC). CAC. Smoky olive-gray patina with intermingled powder blue, russet and champagne-pink highlights that come to life when the surfaces are rotated into direct lighting.

1867 Liberty Seated Silver Dollar. JD-1, OC-P1. Rarity-2+. Proof-64 (NGC). A wonderfully original, visually enticing specimen with intermingled gold, pink, blue and sea-green highlights to dominant iridescent olive-gray and charcoal toning.
