Description
PR65 Cameo 1857 Gold Dollar
Very Rare Pre-1858 Proof Gold
1857 G$1 PR65 Cameo NGC. Prior to 1858, the U.S. Mint had no
organized program for selling proof sets to collectors, and so
production of proofs was small and erratic. This held true
especially for gold coins; Garrett and Guth state of the proof 1857
gold dollar: "The mintage is unknown, but it may be somewhere in
the 15 to 18 coin range. There are probably about 10 coins still
remaining." This Gem Cameo specimen is a glittering prize with
intricately detailed and generously frosted devices. Small lint
marks at the lower obverse and reverse, among other places, will
aid in future pedigree identification. Census: 3 in 65 Cameo, 1
finer (11/12).Ex: The Frog Run Farm Collection (ANR, 11-12/2004), lot 1663.
