Description
1863 Gold Dollar, PR66 Deep Cameo
Scarce Date, Only 16 to 18 Pieces Known
1863 G$1 PR66 Deep Cameo PCGS. JD-1, High R.6. Ex: Simpson.
With coin collecting of secondary interest at the height of the
Civil War, only 50 proof gold dollars were struck in 1863. Of that
number it is somewhat surprising that as many as 16 to 18
individual pieces are believed known (estimated by John
Dannreuther). Not only is this one of the finest known, it is also
one of the most attractive pieces, based on the stark
white-on-black cameo contrast between the fields and devices. The
surfaces are bright yellow-gold, and the fields on each side show
slight traces of the still-unexplained "orange peel" effect seen on
many proof gold coins beginning in the 1860s and continuing roughly
through the turn of the century. Population: 2 in 66 (1 in 66+)
Deep Cameo, 1 finer (11/21).(Registry values: P5)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25E6, PCGS# 97613, Greysheet# 8129)
Weight: 1.70 grams
Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
