Description
1885 Gold Dollar, PR64 Cameo
Pronounced Contrast
1885 G$1 PR64 Cameo NGC. CAC. In his recently published
United States Proof Coins, Volume IV: Gold, John W.
Dannreuther lists two varieties for the 1885 gold dollar (1,105
proofs minted). Both share a common reverse, while the obverses are
differentiated by the presence or absence of a die lump on
Liberty's forehead. No such lump is present on this example,
corresponding to the JD-2 variety. All 1885 gold dollar proofs are
scarce, with only 200 to 300 coins known, about evenly split
between the two variants. Deep orange-gold surfaces feature
profound field reflectivity and frosty devices. There are a couple
of contact marks on the obverse but few on the reverse. A lovely
19th century proof gold coin.(Registry values: P1)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25EV, PCGS# 87635, Greysheet# 8194)
