Description
Deep Cameo Gem Proof
1878 Gold Dollar
Only 20 Proofs Issued
1878 G$1 PR65 Deep Cameo PCGS. Although the final six dates
of gold dollars have proof mintages of more than 1,000 pieces, only
20 proof gold dollars were issued in 1878, along with 3,000
business strikes. As a result, the proof 1878 is rare today, and
PCGS has certified only nine examples in all grades. Among those,
none are certified in grades above PR65, and only one other
specimen is certified by PCGS as Deep Cameo (11/11). This is a
crisply struck Gem with sun-gold centers and cherry-red margins.
Void of post-strike detractions, and the sole imperfections are a
tiny lint mark on the obverse field near the profile and minor
incompleteness of strike on portions of the central reverse field.
Minor repunching is present on the base of the 1 and the loops of
the first 8 in the date.(Registry values: P5)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25EM, PCGS# 97628, Greysheet# 8174)
