1885 Gold Dollar, PR65 Deep Cameo
Very Rare Proof Offering

1885 G$1 PR65 Deep Cameo PCGS. Of the 1,105 gold dollar proofs struck in 1885, PCGS and NGC have certified a total of 206 submissions. That figure comprises all categories and almost certainly includes duplications. There are 96 1885 proofs encapsulated in PCGS holders, but only 9% of them have received a Deep Cameo designation. Few match or exceed the quality of this outstanding Gem. The vast majority of coins known do not display any degree of Cameo contrast, highlighting the utmost rarity of this offering. A thick coating of frost covers fully struck motifs, allowing for the appreciation of the bold contrast produced against the deeply reflective, glassy mirrors. A loupe is required to bring minute contact marks into view. Opportunities to acquire a Deep Cameo example of the 1885 are extremely rare and not to be passed up. Population: 2 in 65 (1 in 65+) Deep Cameo, 5 finer (1/17).(Registry values: P1)
