1872 Gold Dollar, PR66 Deep Cameo
Tied for Finest at PCGS

1872 G$1 PR66 Deep Cameo PCGS. The proof 1872 gold dollar is a major rarity, coming from a mintage of only 30 pieces. Only about two-thirds of that mintage is thought to survive today. PCGS and NGC combined report 24 grading events, which likely include resubmissions. At PCGS, there are only two Deep Cameos listed, both grading PR66, with no Cameos or non-Cameos numerically equal or finer (3/17).

This representative is fully struck and dramatically contrasted with rich orange-gold coloration. The fields display liquidlike mirroring. We have not handled a PCGS-graded Deep Cameo in a decade. NGC-certified coins in this grade have traded hands over the past ten years for about $20,000, but the most recent of these sales was more than four years ago. The present coin represents an incredibly rare opportunity for the collector of 19th century proof gold.(Registry values: P5)
