Description
Ultra Cameo Premium Gem 1859 Seated Dollar
1859 $1 PR66 Deep Cameo NGC. Beginning in 1859, the mint made definite efforts to market proof coins to the then-fledgling coin collecting community, and proof issues from this date on, while still rare, are more available than those of prior years. Stone-white devices have unimprovable contrast with the deeply mirrored fields. The upper reverse field displays a few wispy striations of mint origin. The base of the 1 in the date is recut. The Guide Book reports a production of just 800 proofs, and only a handful of survivors can approach the lofty preservation of this spectacular white on black premium Gem. The present piece is the only one certified as Ultra Cameo by NGC, and PCGS has not encapsulated any examples as Deep Cameo.(#7002) (Registry values: N7079)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 252D, PCGS# 7002, GSID# 7301)
