Description
1885 Gold Dollar, PR65 Cameo
Strongly Contrasted
1885 G$1 PR65 Cameo NGC. JD-1, R.4. Two die pairs were used
to produce the 1,105 proofs for 1885. This first pairing is most
easily distinguished by the "Longacre doubling" seen on all the
peripheral lettering. Proofs were struck in each quarter, but the
majority, 640 pieces, were struck in the last quarter. There was
apparently a demand from jewelers for proof gold dollars, an
assertion first made by Breen, then repeated by John Dannreuther.
This is a deeply reflective example whose surfaces display
significant field-device contrast. Additionally, there is
noticeable reddish patina around the periphery on the obverse.
Fully struck, of course. Census: 14 in 65 Cameo (1 in 65★ ),
24 finer (8/23).(Registry values: P1)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25EV, PCGS# 87635, Greysheet# 8194)
Weight: 1.70 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
