Description:

Incredible 1882 Morgan Dollar, PR68 Cameo

1882 $1 PR68 Cameo NGC. The type collector of proof coinage, when attempting to select a piece, often comes across several issues with their own advantages and disadvantages. In the case of proof Morgan dollars, the pieces of different eras offer a variety of attributes, both positive and negative. The earliest proofs, from 1878 to 1882, offer a pleasing combination of contrast, preservation, and relatively high mintage, though the strike can be questionable. The proofs of the late 1890s offer similar levels of contrast, though the mintages are lower overall, and one of the best-produced issues from that span, the 1895, trades at a substantial premium over type.
The collector's best hope, then, is to find a specimen from one of the larger-mintage, generally well-produced issues that retains the best attributes of that date while improving on the more mediocre qualities. For the 1882, this means a coin that has the strong contrast and high surface quality common to the issue, along with sharper definition at the central devices. With its powerful strike, remarkable preservation, and distinct contrast, this outstanding PR68 Cameo Morgan dollar is one of the most desirable exemplars for its issue. Though a thin layer of gold-inflected cloud-gray haze has settled over the strongly reflective fields, the richly frosted devices supply ample contrast. A simply amazing specimen, not only one of the finest 1882 Morgan proofs, but one of the best-preserved and most attractive representatives across the entire series. Census: 2 in 68 Cameo, 0 finer (1/08).
