Auction 398 | Lot 1089 » Gold Dollars
1881 G$1 PR67 Ultra Cameo NGC. Only 87 proof gold dollars were struck in 1881, but the occasional offering of first-strike business strikes has tended to cloud the issue of this date's availability, as both were struck from the same dies. Probably no more than 35-40 proofs are believed known today. This is a superlative example that has deeply mirrored fields that go absolutely black when angled just so under a light. The devices are very heavily frosted and give the coin its stark cameo appearance. Examination with a magnifier reveals the lovely orange-peel finish seen on many proof gold coins from this era. Census: 2 in 67, 0 finer (11/05). (PCGS# 7631)

1881 G$1 PR 65 PCGS. Since most extant proofs and business strikes of this issue were struck from the same die pair, and the business strikes are often prooflike, unscrupulous dealers have had little trouble offering examples of the latter as proof specimens. Of the original 87 proofs produced, perhaps 35-40 are extant today. This beautiful survivor displays bold cameo contrast between the glassy fields and the crisp, frosty devices. The color is a rich reddish-gold shade that is suggestive of originality. NGC and PCGS combined report only seven examples in PR 65 with a lone PR 66 PCGS specimen finer (7/00). A wonderful opportunity for the gold collector to acquire a high grade example of a proof delivery that was conspicuously absent from the Eliasberg Collection (Bowers & Merena, 10/82).
From the Richard Allen Collection. (PCGS# 7631)

Auction 124 | Lot 5540 » Gold Dollars
NGC 1881 PR 64 Cameo. A rare proof striking with only 87 pieces produced. In the past, proofs and prooflike business strikes have been confused with perhaps three to four times as many coins offered as proofs as were actually struck. But there is no mistaking this coin for anything other than a proof. The fields are deeply reflective pools of mirrored reflectivity, and the devices are heavily frosted, giving the coin a stark cameo contrast. Only a few minor surface impairments are noted. Population: 1 in 64, none are finer (7/94). (PCGS# 7631)

PCGS 1881 PR 64. Only 87 proofs were produced this year, but the large number of prooflikes has confused the picture of availability of 1881 proof dollars. The glassy mirrored fields have taken on a rich orange-gold patina with faint suggestions of lilac interspersed. While there is virtually no contrast between the fields and devices, the coin does not lack in eye appeal. Population: 6 in 64, only 3 finer. (PCGS# 7631)

1881 G$1 PR60 NGC. Only 87 proofs were produced this year, but the large number of prooflikes has confused the picture of availability of 1881 proof Dollars. The mirrored fields have taken on rich orange-gold patina with a noticeably scuffy appearance. There is virtually no contrast between the fields and devices and a few marks are noted in the reverse field. (PCGS# 7631)
