1862 Gold Dollar, PR65 Deep Cameo
Jet-Black Mirrors, Frosted Devices
Endorsed by CAC

1862 G$1 PR65 Deep Cameo PCGS. CAC. JD-1, High R.6. Ex: Simpson. This was the final year for which circulation-strike gold dollars were struck in any meaningful quantity (1.3 million coins) until 1873. However, the proof mintage dropped from 349 coins in 1861 to just 35 in 1862. John Dannreuther provides a survival estimate of only 16 to 18 pieces, and this Gem Deep Cameo proof from the Bob R. Simpson Collection approaches the finest known. It features characteristic rich yellow-gold color and an astounding degree of field-device contrast. Jet-black mirrors surround the thickly frosted relief element, contributing to the effect. Rightfully endorsed by CAC for its quality within the grade. Population: 2 in 65 Deep Cameo, 3 finer. CAC: 1 in 65, 3 finer (6/22).(Registry values: P5)
