1864 Gold Dollar, PR66+ Deep Cameo
Finest PCGS-Certified Proof
Only 16 to 18 Pieces Known

1864 G$1 PR66+ Deep Cameo PCGS. JD-1, High R.6. Ex: Simpson. The 1864 gold dollar had a proof mintage of only 50 pieces, all produced in a single day, February 11. Of that already tiny number, it is estimated today that only 16 to 18 examples are known. With the extensive repolishing that was done to the dies (the same dies that were used in 1863) it is not difficult to locate proofs with cameo contrast. That being said, this is one of only five PR66 Deep/Ultra Cameo pieces certified in this grade at both services combined, none are finer (2/22). The Plus designation makes this coin the finest known among all PCGS-certified proofs, and tied with a single Plus-certified NGC coin. This upper-end example exhibits deeply reflective mirrors on each side along with subtle reddish patina.(Registry values: P5)
