Incredible Cameo Proof 1864 Gold Dollar/One of the Finest of the 50 Originally Struck

1864 PR 65 PCGS. A great rarity among proof gold dollars, only 50 pieces were originally produced and it is estimated that today somewhere around 12 or 13 coins may still exist in all grades. Of those few proofs that remain, a couple are impaired and two more are in museums, leaving precious few for collectors. This is the first proof of this date we can remember having handled, and this coin is among the finest pieces known with only 2 others certified in 65 by PCGS (6/96). The fields are deeply reflective and tend to go "black" when angled just so, producing a stark two-toned contrast from the heavily frosted devices. The coin appears to be uncleaned, the only defects being a few stray marks scattered here and there--the only one that could be used for pedigree purposes is a tiny planchet flake out of the field just left of the 1 in the denomination.
