1881 Morgan, Brilliant PR67+ Cameo
Spectacular Contrast
Conditionally Rare Proof

1881 $1 PR67+ Cameo PCGS. CAC. The year 1881 is a popular one in the Morgan dollar series. San Francisco coins of this date are plentiful and often seen in extraordinary levels of preservation as type coins, and Carson City coins of this date are typically eye-catching with their vibrant luster. In comparison, the 1881 proof is somewhat overlooked. Proofs were struck to the extent of 984 pieces and were issued through silver proof sets directly to collectors. Today, a significant percentage of the proof mintage survives, but quality rarely reaches the Superb Gem grade level, even for non-Cameo coins. Cameos are especially challenging to locate this fine, and PCGS has seen only one Deep Cameo proof in a finer grade. The present high-end Superb Gem Cameo displays virtually flawless, fully mirrored fields and sharp, frosted devices. A Deep Cameo designation must have been considered when the graders at PCGS were evaluating this piece, as it is nearly that deeply contrasted. The CAC green label on the holder attests to its outstanding quality for the grade. Population: 4 in 67+ Cameo, 2 finer; 1 in 67 Deep Cameo, 1 finer (11/23).(Registry values: N4719)
