Description

Gem Proof Ultra Cameo 1881 Gold Dollar
Strong Contrast, Attractive Color

1881 G$1 PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC. From a mintage of just 87 pieces, the 1881 proof gold dollar is a challenging date in Gem condition, and examples with Ultra Cameo contrast are quite rare. The accepted production total of 87 pieces was discovered through the research of Walter Breen, coming from the chief coiner's records. Earlier reports indicate a smaller number of proofs were struck, and the 1966 Guide Book gives a total of just 40 pieces. The present coin is a deeply mirrored, sharply detailed specimen, with attractive greenish-gold surfaces. Eye appeal is exceptional. Census: 1 in 65 Ultra Cameo, 5 finer (11/10).
From The Henry Miller Collection.(Registry values: P3)
