Description
Stunning 1864 Gold Dollar
PR65 ★ Cameo
1864 G$1 PR65 ★ Cameo NGC. The 1864 proof gold
dollar, showing a mintage of 50 coins, is an incredible rarity.
David Bowers, writing in A Guide Book of Gold Dollars, says
it is likely that no more than 25 or so pieces were distributed
from the original mint figure. He also estimates the extant
population to be 12 to 15 examples. This is consistent with the 16
specimens graded by NGC and PCGS. The Gem in this lot is the only
1864 gold dollar given the Star designation by NGC.The deeply mirrored fields yield stunning contrast with the frosty motifs. Additionally, a solid strike delivers bold delineation to all of the design elements, heightening this variance even more. Peach-gold surfaces are impeccably preserved. A minor graze on Liberty's cheek and a couple of inoffensive field marks are all that stand in the way of an even higher numerical grade. Census: 1 in 65 ★ , 0 finer (3/09).(Registry values: P5)
