Description
Finest Certified 1859 Gold Dollar, PR66 Ultra Cameo
1859 G$1 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. Ex: Simpson. Reverse Die One.
The 1859 is the first year for which a mintage figure was reported
for proofs, and just 80 examples were issued in that format. Not
surprisingly, this issue is seldom encountered, and NGC and PCGS
combined report just 28 examples in all grades, a figure which
would include pieces submitted multiple times. Ultra or Deep Cameo
specimens are extremely challenging, and the present coin is the
finest graded by NGC (6/10).This piece is sharply struck save for a touch of softness on the DO in DOLLAR. The watery fields show excellent cameo contrast against the frosted devices. Pleasing greenish-gold patina covers both sides. Slight granularity in the fields gives this piece a lovely orange-peel appearance.
