Description
1879 Gold Dollar, PR64 Cameo
Rare Proof Date, CAC Endorsed, JD-1
1879 G$1 JD-1, R.6, PR64 Cameo PCGS. CAC. The proof mintage
was only 30 pieces, making the 1879 gold dollar proofs rare in any
case. An additional 10 proofs were struck later in the year. As
with the 1877 and 1878 proof gold dollars, the same dies were used
to strike proofs as circulation strikes. The proofs were made with
polished blanks adding watery depth to the field mirroring. This
proof displays a partial LIBERTY in the diadem and tiny pits on the
neck, diagnostic of the later proof strikes. Rich orange-gold color
flows evenly throughout the glassy fields, with frosted devices
providing stark Cameo contrast. CAC endorsement confirms high
quality for the assigned grade. Only 14 to 18 proofs survive for
this rare gold dollar issue. Population: 6 in 64 Cameo, 2 finer.
CAC: 2 in 64, 0 finer (8/25).Ex: Americana Auction (Stack's Bowers, 1/2012), lot 10538.
