Description

1886-O $1 MS64 Prooflike NGC. This piece is the only MS64 Prooflike 1886-O dollar certified by either NGC or PCGS. The almost casual references to the 1886-O being "elusive" or "occasionally seen" in Prooflike condition belie its actual rarity. Compared to over 3,000 entries for non-Prooflike coins, only 23 Prooflike pieces appear in NGC's Census Report, and the present coin, graded higher than any of the rest, will make 24 (6/08). Both sides of this well-defined Choice coin are generally low-contrast, though a degree of frost graces the high points of the reverse. Strongly mirrored with hints of gold close to the margins.
