1889 Dollar, PR66+ Cameo
Pinpoint-Sharp and Boldly Contrasted

1889 $1 PR66+ Cameo PCGS. CAC. Ex: Simpson. A small batch of 811 proofs accompanied a mintage of 21.7 million circulation-strike Morgan dollars at the Philadelphia Mint in 1889. Dave Bowers notes that the former often show an average strike with central softness, but such is not the case with with PR66+ Cameo example from the Bob R. Simpson Collection. The coin is absolutely pinpoint-sharp from the centers to the rims. The reverse is brilliant, as is the central obverse, while thin rings of golden-orange and ocean-blue toning frame the borders on that side. Two minuscule ticks occur left of the eagle's beak. An exemplary proof Morgan dollar. Population: 11 in 66 (2 in 66+) Cameo, 6 finer in this category (9/20). CAC: 8 in 66, 2 finer (9/20).(Registry values: N4719)
