Description
1885 Gold Dollar, Sparkling PR66 Cameo
Contrasted Orange-Gold Surfaces
1885 G$1 PR66 Cameo NGC. JD-1, R.4. The date sits centered
above the bow and strong Longacre doubling exists at UNITED STATES
OF AMERICA to confirm the JD-1 proof die pair. This is a boldly
contrasted gold dollar with attractive reflectivity throughout the
fields. A sharp proof strike renders the thickly frosted motifs,
while the obverse legend was entered too deeply in the master die.
LIBERTY is fully readable on the headdress and bold dentils sit
inside the high rims. Confusion reigns when determining the number
of proof die marriages and the actual number of 1885 proofs made. A
reported mintage of 1,105 proofs may or may not be accurate, and
some proofs were likely unsold. The largest proof delivery was in
December 1885 -- most of those coins went to jewelers for the
Christmas trade. John Dannreuther estimates 200 to 300 proofs
survive, about evenly divided between the confirmed JD-1 and JD-2
varieties. This is a beautiful Premium Gem example that ranks
highly among the known Cameo survivors. Census: 12 in 66 Cameo (1
in 66★ ), 12 finer (6/23).(Registry values: P1)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25EV, PCGS# 87635, Greysheet# 8194)
